NOTES: Includes only full-benefit, non-managed care enrolled children ages 1 to 17 with at least three consecutive months of Medicaid enrollment in 2008. Estimates were weighted using the Mini-MAX sample weights.
Children identified as eligible for Medicaid on the basis of disability in their last month of Medicaid enrollment in 2008 were assigned to the disabled eligibility group.
Large metropolitan areas contain core areas with at least a million residents. Small metropolitan areas have a core area with 50,000 to a million residents. Micropolitan areas have a core containing at least 10,000, but less than 50,000 residents. These areas include counties adjacent to the core that have a high degree of social and economic integration. Non-core, non-adjacent areas contain less than 10,000 residents and are not adjacent to an urban area. More detail can be found at http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/UrbanInfluenceCodes/.
