Weekly


The figure shows the percentage of adults aged ≥18 years who have a usual place for health care, by race and Hispanic subpopulation in the United States during 2010, according to the National Health Interview Survey. Hispanic adults (71.8%) were less likely to have a usual place for health care than non-Hispanic white adults (84.7%) and non-Hispanic black adults (80.0%). Among the five Hispanic subpopulations, Puerto Rican adults (81.9%) were more likely to have a usual place for health care compared with Mexican adults (70.5%), Cuban adults (72.6%), and Central and South American adults (67.7%).
* Based on "Yes" and "There is more than one place" responses to the following question: "Is there a place that you usually go to when you are sick or need advice about your health?" The usual place to go for health care does not include a hospital emergency department. Unknowns were not included in the denominators when calculating percentages.
Persons of Hispanic ethnicity might be of any race or combination of races.
§ Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population. Estimates are age adjusted using the projected 2000 U.S. population as the standard population and using four age groups: 18–44 years, 45–64 years, 65–74 years, and ≥75 years.
