How many here a premium tax credit would reach

Of the 23,136 people without coverage in Forsyth County, 10,406 — 45% — earn inside the premium tax credit range. That is under the 51% median, so proportionally more of Forsyth County's uninsured sit outside the credit — below it or above the cliff. Within that income band itself, 16.9% are uninsured — roughly one in 6 of the people the credit was designed for.

Coverage is better here than across the state

9.5% of Forsyth County's 243,837 under-65 residents have no health coverage — 23,136 people. That is well below Georgia as a whole at 14.0% — 4.5 points better than its own state, and puts Forsyth County in the lower half of the 3,143 counties measured nationally (1,659th).

The people below the subsidy floor

4,368 of Forsyth County's uninsured — 19%, below the 31% typical of counties nationally — 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

3,858 people aged 50 to 64 in Forsyth County have no coverage, a rate of 7.0% — lower than the 9.5% 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.
