Women account for just over half of Medicaid enrollees (52.2%), slightly higher than their share of the overall U.S. population (50.7%).
Non-Hispanic White enrollees account for 39.6% of all Medicaid recipients (versus 58.0% of the U.S. population as a whole). Hispanic people, who can be of any race, comprise 30.8% of enrollees (versus 19.7% of the population), and Black people make up 20.8% of enrollees (versus 13.5% of the population). The share of Asian American enrollees (6.0%) was about the same as their share of the overall population (6.6%).
Medicaid enrollees ages 19 to 64 are more likely than Americans in that age group overall to have never been married (47.9% vs. 36.3%) or to be divorced or separated (14.8% vs. 11.1%). They’re much less likely than Americans overall to be currently married (34.9% vs. 51.0%).
