| 1. The percentages and numbers reported reflect the best estimates
of uninsured children and those on Medi-Cal in each SPA and health district. These
estimates should not be considered exact population numbers but, should be used as trend
data for planning purposes. The actual percentages and numbers may be lower or higher
based on the confidence interval reported for each area. We are 95% confident that
the actual percentage of uninsured children or children covered by Medi-Cal in each area
is within the range of the confidence interval presented for that area. |
2. The Antelope Valley and West SPAs each contain only one health district. |
