Key State Highlights.

Texas generally fares poorer than other states in the nation in health care access with improvement in most measures of opportunity across racial/ethnic groups.

Texans also face health care access challenges within the state. For example, American Indian/Alaska Native and Hispanic Texans have health insurance coverage rates that are lower than the state rate for all groups.
Black residents in Texas not only struggle the most with access to home ownership they also are less likely to live in areas of low crime rates. Black individuals also have much higher rates of premature mortality and infant mortality compared to other populations.
Hispanic Texans not only face socioeconomic challenges in acquiring livable income and post-secondary education, but they also have some of the lowest rates to health care access as measured by having a dedicated health care provider and health insurance coverage. Hispanic adults are also least likely to be in excellent or very good health compared to all other groups.
Texans as a whole are further from HOPE Goals in housing, food security, living in neighborhoods with less crime, livable income, post-secondary education, and health care access than other states.
