Abstract: Between August and November 2009, the Urban Institute and Social Sciences Research Solutions conducted a survey of households in the District of Columbia for the DC Department of Health Care Finance. The 2009 DC Health Insurance Survey (DC-HIS) includes interviews with 4,717 households. The sample covered only non-institutionalized residents and did not include homeless residents. The survey used a combination of random digit dial (RDD) telephone and address-based sampling in order to contact households with and without landline telephones. The combined response rate was 34.1 percent. The survey data was analyzed by the Urban Institute.1 In this brief, we present estimates of uninsurance among District residents and explore the characteristics of the uninsured and the reasons for their lack of insurance using data from the 2009 DC-HIS.
