• 1
  Note. All graphics represent trends among nonelderly Kentucky adults aged 18–64. The poverty rates for the ZIP code level were obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey via the American Fact Finder. ZIP code–level poverty rates were obtained using the 5‐year sample file for 2009–2013 American Community Survey. The median poverty rate at the ZIP code level for 2013 was 20.2% while the mean was 23% (interquartile range: 13–30%). The fraction of people reporting difficulty getting prescription medicine due to cost, currently having medical bills, and frequency of doctor visits are only available beginning with the 2013 wave of the BRFSS; therefore, a longer time series plot is presently unavailable.
