15.2% of under-65 residents in Yavapai County were uninsured in 2024 — about 24,528 people — which is modestly above the Arizona average of 12.9% and makes it the 5th highest of the 15 counties in Arizona. Close enough to the state figure that the county is not an outlier; far enough that coverage gaps here are a real feature rather than a rounding artifact.

What you can actually buy here
3 insurers compete here. That is thin enough that switching carrier usually means switching hospital system too, and wide enough that the premiums genuinely differ. Both things are worth checking before either is dismissed. Between them they offer 22 plans, roughly 7 apiece, a short list by national standards. Short lists are easier to compare properly, which is a real advantage as long as one of them fits your doctors. The count is unchanged from last year, so the networks you compared previously still stand.
12,376 people here bought marketplace coverage for 2026, about 77 per thousand under-65 residents. That sits near the middle of the counties covered on this site: a working individual market, but most local coverage still arrives through an employer. Only 1,641 were new consumers against 10,735 renewals — a 13% new share. A settled, returning population like that means the plans on offer have been chosen by the same people repeatedly, which is a reasonable signal that the networks hold up.
