Graphs and Maps - New Hampshire Uninsured - The attached graphs and maps show the distribution of the uninsured in NH by combining Census "Public-Use Microdata Areas" (PUMAs) and data from the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS).
What are "Public-Use Microdata Areas" (PUMAs)? Each PUMA is an area within a state that contains at least 100,000 residents. In densely populated areas, PUMAs are limited to smaller areas within a county. In sparsely populated areas, PUMAs typically comprise one or more neighboring counties within a given state. Data shown is as of July 30, 2014. http://www.enrollamerica.org/state-maps-and-info/state-profiles/new-hampshire/
