Methodology & Sources

This report compiles data from publicly available federal sources to give insurance agents a single-page view of market opportunity across all 50 states. All demographic data is drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2024 1-year estimates, the most recent available at time of publication.

Population and age demographics come from ACS Table B01001. Median household income is from ACS Table B19013. Homeownership rates are from ACS Table B25003. Uninsured rates are from ACS Table S2701, measuring the civilian noninstitutionalized population without health insurance. Vehicles per household is from ACS Table B25044.

Medicare enrollment figures reference the CMS Medicare Enrollment Dashboard (Q4 2025). Insurance market factoids are sourced from state insurance department annual reports, NAIC market share data, and industry publications.

This report is updated quarterly. Data may reflect a 6–18 month lag from collection to publication. For the most current state-specific lead availability and pricing, contact our team.
