What makes Jones County different: Jones County's Medicare market is shaped by two factors. First, the county is home to two adjacent TDCJ state prison units on FM 3522 northeast of Abilene (the maximum-security French M. Robertson Unit, total capacity ~2,984, and the co-located John Middleton Transfer Facility, capacity ~2,128); their large incarcerated working-age population holds the county's age-65+ share to about 15% and the Medicare-beneficiary share to roughly 17% of total population (3,463 of ~20,300), low for rural Texas. Second, in March 2023 the county seat's Anson General Hospital became the second hospital in the nation to convert to the new federal Rural Emergency Hospital (REH) designation, dropping inpatient beds to focus on emergency and outpatient care in order to stay open.
