How many here a premium tax credit would reach
Of the 18,014 people without coverage in Bibb County, 8,096 — 45% — earn inside the premium tax credit range. That is under the 51% median, so proportionally more of Bibb County's uninsured sit outside the credit — below it or above the cliff. Within that income band itself, 16.7% are uninsured — roughly one in 6 of the people the credit was designed for.
One in seven has no coverage
15.0% of Bibb County's 119,986 under-65 residents have no health coverage — 18,014 people. That is close to the Georgia rate of 14.0%, and puts Bibb County in the top quarter of the 3,143 counties measured nationally (483rd).
The people below the subsidy floor
7,163 of Bibb County's uninsured — 40%, an unusually large share — the top 10% of all counties measured — earn under $22,025 a year. In Georgia that income is the coverage gap, and no marketplace plan reaches it.
Older residents here are better covered
3,098 people aged 50 to 64 in Bibb County have no coverage, a rate of 12.1% — lower than the 15.0% across all under-65 residents here, which is the usual pattern — people in their fifties and early sixties tend to be more settled in employer coverage. Age-rated premiums make this the most expensive group to cover before Medicare.
