What makes Hunt County different: Hunt County is a fast-growing, working-age county anchored by Greenville and the L3Harris defense plant; its 65+ share is just 15.3%, below the U.S. average, so many residents still hold employer or ACA coverage rather than Medicare. UnitedHealthcare's AARP plans are unusually dominant, holding roughly 64% of the county's ~6,200-person Medicare Advantage book across its top three contracts.
