% of Population without Health Insurance, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — San Francisco Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the southern and eastern portions of the metro—particularly around San Jose, East San Jose, and parts of Hayward—exhibit notably higher uninsured rates, often exceeding 10–15%, while affluent coastal and suburban areas west of the bay and in the central peninsula consistently fall below 5%. A striking contrast emerges between the low-uninsured corridors of central San Francisco, much of Marin County, and the wealthier East Bay suburbs versus the elevated rates clustered in working-class urban cores like Richmond, East Oakland, and pockets of Antioch. The geographic pattern closely mirrors known income and immigration disparities across the metro, with the highest uninsured concentrations forming an arc along the eastern and southern margins of the region.
