The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) is an invaluable resource, now published via ArcGIS Living Atlas. This map (actually an app using the Compare configurable app) uses ACS data to take a closer look at health insurance coverage for minorities.

The left map contains 2010-2014 ACS layers and the right contains the current year ACS data which is 2015-2019. The symbology is the same to enable easy visual comparisons.
