Enroll America and Civis Analytics first created a data model that predicts who likely has, and does not have, health coverage in anticipation of the opening of the health insurance marketplaces in 2013. This model has been updated each year and is used to estimate the insurance status of non-elderly Americans from 2013 to 2016. Grouping individual-level estimates by geography, sex, age, and race/ethnicity enables us to understand the uninsured landscape across the country. Here we provide a detailed look at the 2016 uninsured population in Mississippi, along with plan selection data from HHS and nationwide uninsured rates for context. All uninsured rates listed in this document are based on the Enroll America/Civis Analytics uninsured model.
