Marion County — centered on Ocala — has a distinctive economy shaped by the horse industry (the county is Florida's equestrian capital), healthcare services, manufacturing, retail, and a growing population of retirees and remote workers. Small businesses in the equine sector, construction, professional services, and retail form the primary employer base. Florida Blue is the dominant small group carrier in Marion County; Aetna provides an alternative. AdventHealth Ocala and HCA Florida Ocala Hospital are the two primary hospital facilities.
