This measure shows how many people are enrolled in health insurance. It does not show how many people use their health insurance for preventative care. Studies confirm that coverage improves access to care, supports positive health outcomes, and reduces financial strain on individuals, families, and communities. In San Antonio, the working-age population is most likely to not have health insurance. According to the American Community Survey 5-year estimates, approximately 21% of people employed, between the ages of 19 and 64, are without health insurance coverage. SA2020's City Council Profiles show health insurance coverage by Council District.

After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do. We made this decision with the greatest care for our organizational values of leadership, community, and accountability, and we hope you’ll read more about it on our blog.
Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.
While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.
