There are not big differences for the percentage of Black populations living in high uninsurance versus all other neighborhoods. (One standard deviation or greater above the mean is used to define High uninsured rate )

High Uninsured Neighborhoods Source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey, Neighborhood Nexus The highlighted areas on the map are the neighborhoods (census tracts) that have the highest percentages of those uninsured in the region (at least one standard deviation above the mean). One common characteristic of these neighborhoods is that they also have high concentrations of Hispanic populations, especially in Norcross, Marietta, Gainesville areas and along the Buford Highway corridor.
