About Health Insurance

The Census Bureau produces health insurance data from four data sources. Depending on your needs, one data source may be more suitable than another data source. There are three surveys that collect health insurance information:

  1. CPS ASEC: The Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey
  2. ACS: The American Community Survey
  3. SIPP: The Survey of Income and Program Participation

Additionally, there is one model-based program that uses administrative records to create health insurance estimates.

  1. SAHIE: The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates Program

For more information see our Guidance for Data Users page.
