% of Population without Health Insurance, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Kentucky

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Kentucky's uninsured rates exhibit considerable geographic variation, with most zip codes falling below 10% uninsured, though notable pockets of higher uninsurance (15–25%) appear in parts of western Kentucky near the Purchase region and scattered areas along the southern border. A few isolated zip codes—one in the south-central area and another in the north-central region—reach strikingly high levels near 30–50%, likely reflecting small populations or unique demographic compositions. The eastern coalfield region and much of the rural southeast show generally low uninsured percentages, consistent with high Medicaid enrollment in Appalachian Kentucky following the state's ACA Medicaid expansion.
