Hispanics in Oregon have mixed health care outcomes, according to The Commonwealth Fund 2026 State Health Disparities Report. On overall health system performance, Oregon’s Hispanic population earned a percentile score of 52, ranking 11th among 48 states with sufficient data. That places Oregon above many states, but still below Oregon’s white population, which scored 82.

The report shows that Oregon Hispanics face especially serious barriers in health care access and affordability. About 26 percent of Hispanic adults ages 19–64 were uninsured, far above the 9 percent rate for white adults. Hispanic children also had much higher uninsured rates, at 27 percent, compared with 9 percent for white children. Cost also keeps many from getting care: 23 percent of Hispanic adults reported going without needed care because of cost, versus 8 percent of white adults.

Oregon Hispanics were also less likely to have a regular place to get care. The report found that 35 percent lacked a usual source of care, compared with 8 percent of white residents. This matters because having a regular doctor or clinic is linked to better preventive care and better long-term outcomes.

On some health outcomes, however, Oregon Hispanics do comparatively well. They had lower rates of deaths before age 75 from both treatable causes (54 per 100,000) and preventable causes (206 per 100,000) than white residents (69 and 373, respectively). Hispanic adults in Oregon also had a lower smoking rate, at 10 percent, compared with 13 percent for whites.

Still, the report suggests that better outcomes in some measures do not erase the structural barriers Oregon Hispanics face in getting affordable, consistent care. In short, Oregon performs relatively well compared with other states for Hispanic residents, but major disparities in coverage, cost, and access remain.
