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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Uninsured rates across Louisiana zip codes are highly variable, with most areas falling between 0% and 15%, though scattered zip codes—particularly in central Louisiana near the Alexandria and Opelousas regions—reach notably higher levels approaching 20–25% or more. The southeastern portion of the state, including the greater New Orleans metropolitan area and surrounding parishes, displays a mix of very low uninsured rates alongside moderate pockets, suggesting significant intra-urban disparities. Rural zip codes in the northern and western parts of the state tend toward moderate uninsured rates in the 5–15% range, while a few isolated zip codes with extremely low or zero percent uninsured likely reflect small populations or institutional settings such as military installations or university communities.
