MINNESOTA COMMUNITY AND UNINSURED PROFILE

Updates to Minnesota's Community and Uninsured Profile Resource to Reflect 2016-2020 ACS Estimates

Following the release of the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-year data file (2016-2020), SHADAC has made important updates to the Minnesota Community and Uninsured Profile resource to incorporate an analysis of the 2020 data. The Community and Uninsured Profile provides rates and counts of uninsured Minnesotans, focused on classification by ZIP code level (i.e. Census-defined ZIP code).
