2005 Health Insurance Coverage Status by Age for South Carolina Counties
The Census Bureau's Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) program was created to develop model-based estimates of health insurance coverage for counties and states. The SAHIE program models health insurance coverage by combining survey data with population estimates and administrative records. Their estimates are based on data from the following sources:
- The Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) of the Current Population Survey (CPS);
- Demographic population estimates;
- Aggregated federal tax returns;
- Food stamp participation records;
- County Business Patterns;
- Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) participation records; and
- Census 2000.
