Rural Enrollment in Health Insurance Marketplaces

This brief provides analysis of Health Insurance Marketplace enrollment outcomes for 2015 at the rating area and county levels. Enrollment rates are reported by number of firms participating and for multiple geographic categories: population density, Census region, and metropolitan status of the county. Rural rates are similar to urban rates in many places, but areas of concern exist and may benefit from additional outreach in the future.
