^{About: The Uninsured Adults Age 65+ indicator measures the share of seniors who lack health insurance coverage within each MSA. Because most adults age 65 and older qualify for Medicare, this metric typically remains low and reflects the effectiveness of healthcare access, enrollment support, and regional senior services. Lower values indicate better access to care and stronger coverage stability. Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS),
