The type of coverage available, demographic factors such as age and income, access to care and personal preference are some of the factors that may lead to differences in health insurance coverage between areas. These differences may indicate an opportunity for improvement. For example, if all congressional districts had the uninsured rate reported for children in the 3rd District (3.7 percent), there would be 13,681 fewer uninsured children in Kansas.
