How many here a premium tax credit would reach

Kings County has 63,154 uninsured residents earning inside the premium tax credit range, 45% of its uninsured total. That is under the 51% median, so proportionally more of Kings County's uninsured sit outside the credit — below it or above the cliff. Within that band itself, 8.6% have no coverage.

How many people here have no coverage

6.6% of Kings County's 2,143,344 under-65 residents have no health coverage — 141,901 people. That is close to the New York rate of 5.9%, and puts Kings County in the bottom quarter of the 3,143 counties measured nationally (2,626th).

Who falls under the Medicaid line

44,975 of Kings County's uninsured — 32%, close to the 31% typical nationally — earn under $22,025 a year, which in New York is Medicaid territory rather than marketplace territory.

The years before Medicare

27,310 people aged 50 to 64 in Kings County have no coverage, a rate of 6.4% — close to the 6.6% across all under-65 residents here. Age-rated premiums make this the most expensive group to cover before Medicare.
