On April 29, the Urban Institute released a brief on its fall 2009 survey on insurance status and options in the District of Columbia.  The brief examines the characteristics of nonelderly uninsured adults.

From the report: In this brief, we report details about nonelderly adult residents who reported that they were uninsured at the time of the survey. We look first at the demographic characteristics of uninsured residents as compared with insured residents, including gender, race/ethnicity, income, educational attainment, and citizenship. We then consider how long they have lived in the District and where they live within the city. Next, we examine differences in employment between uninsured and insured residents. Finally, we present the reasons that uninsured residents gave for why they did not have insurance. Unless otherwise stated, statistics refer to nonelderly adult residents and all differences that we report are statistically significant at the p < 0.10 level or better.
