The Fredericksburg region
A growing region with a coverage gap
The Virginia Health Care Foundation found that 10.3 percent of Fredericksburg area residents under 65 had no health insurance in 2024. That was one of only three regions in Virginia above 9 percent.
The region is also growing fast. Spotsylvania grew 10.9 percent and Caroline 11.4 percent between 2020 and 2025, according to Census QuickFacts. More families means more uninsured women and more students who need help. That is why a nonprofit in Fredericksburg VA focused on cost matters.
