New data shows 1 in 13 Arkansas children were uninsured in 2024, nearly twice the rate from about a decade earlier.
Key takeaways
About 1 in 13 Arkansas children were uninsured in 2024. Put another way, children without health coverage made up roughly one out of every 13 children in the state.
The 2024 share was nearly twice the rate from about a decade earlier. The comparison shows that the percentage of Arkansas children without insurance increased substantially over that period.
The figures describe children’s insurance coverage in Arkansas in 2024 and compare it with coverage from roughly 10 years earlier. They do not identify individual children or families.
The new statewide figure gives residents a measure to follow as future data is released. Changes in the percentage of uninsured children would show whether the rate is moving up or down over time.
