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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Uninsured rates across West Virginia exhibit significant spatial variation, with the highest concentrations—exceeding 25-30%—appearing in scattered zip codes in the south-central and eastern panhandle regions, while much of the northern panhandle and western border counties maintain rates below 5%. The southwestern coalfield counties display a patchwork pattern of very low and moderate uninsured rates, likely reflecting variable Medicaid enrollment alongside pockets of coverage gaps. A notable cluster of consistently low uninsured rates runs through the north-central part of the state around the Morgantown-Clarksburg corridor, suggesting the influence of university and healthcare employment anchors on insurance coverage.
