What makes Gaines County different: Gaines County is one of Texas's youngest counties (median age about 29.3; only roughly 9.4% are 65+ versus about 17% nationally), driven by its large Low German-speaking Old Colony Mennonite community and high birth rates. Despite this small senior base, CMS reports that 887 of its 2,203 Medicare beneficiaries (about 40%) are enrolled in Medicare Advantage as of December 2024, a market dominated by Humana's HumanaChoice Regional PPO (contract R4182), with UnitedHealthcare's Regional PPO and Special Needs Plans (contract R6801) also serving the county.
