The findings indicate that while some counties, like Montmorency in Michigan, are particularly vulnerable, others, such as Loving County in Texas, have minimal reliance on Social Security.

A significant 57% of insured workers believe their plans are sufficient, yet these typically offer basic protection, often just a flat dollar amount or equivalent to one times their annual salary. With rising costs in housing, childcare, and education, families may need 10-15 times their annual income in coverage.
