Concerned about this?

Adults with a personal doctor

Adults who report having a personal doctor. Having a regular doctor makes it easier to maintain good health.

Health insurance (adults)

Adults with any kind of health insurance. People with health insurance are more likely to have a regular doctor, receive preventive care services, better manage chronic health conditions, and have longer life expectancy.

Postponing health care

Households that postponed health care in the last 12 months

Self-reported health

Adults reporting that their health is excellent, very good, or good.

Difficulty walking

People with disabilities or access needs that make it difficult to walk or climb stairs. When transit and buildings have more accessible infrastructure like elevators and ramps it can make NYC easier to navigate for all New Yorkers. People with ambulatory difficulties may also need accommodation to navigate their home.

Cognitive difficulty

People reporting trouble remembering, concentrating, or making decisions. Individuals with this difficulty may have access needs or benefit from accommodations.

Hearing difficulty

People reporting serious trouble hearing. Individuals with trouble hearing may have access needs or benefit from accommodations.

Self-care difficulty

People reporting trouble practicing self-care. These individuals have trouble with essential self-care activities such as bathing, dressing, and getting around their residence. They may benefit from assistance or accommodations.

Vision difficulty

People reporting blindness or serious trouble seeing (even when wearing glasses). These individuals may have access needs or benefit from accommodations.

Health care

Health care is a valuable tool to stay healthy.

Health insurance coverage is associated with many health benefits. People with health insurance are more likely to have a regular doctor, receive preventive care services, better manage chronic health conditions, have longer life expectancy, and more.

However, not all New Yorkers can access appropriate amounts of care. Many New Yorkers remain uninsured. People without access to appropriate health care don’t receive the care they need to stay healthy. They may postpone care, be unable to afford medication or treatment, and become sicker and die earlier than people with good health insurance and good health care.
