The table allocates the New York State uninsured in 2008 as estimated by the Census Bureau's 2009 Current Population Survey into counties based on each county's share of the uninsured in the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) or its SAHIE regression model (for counties not reported in the ACS).

County names included in the American Community Survey are italicized in the table.
