Either that or comparing Harris against a combined Dallas+Tarrant to get an equivalent land area and population size.

Amazing how percentages are great when talking about population growth or some positive statistic but somehow unfair when the statistic is not so positive. Adjusting for Harris County's greater population just means there are more uninsured people in Harris County than in Dallas County
AND there more insured people as well.
