One of the variables measured in the 2010 American Community Survey is the number of people who do not have health insurance. In order to find statistics related to the uninsured population in Connecticut, I downloaded two tables from the American Fact Finder: Health Insurance Coverage Status (Table S2701) by state and by Connecticut counties, respectively. Connecticut has a relatively low percentage of the population that is uninsured; it ranks fourth out of the fifty states in the country (see table below). Out of the counties in Connecticut (see map above), Fairfield County has the highest percentage (11.7%) while Tolland County has the lowest percentage (5.1%).
