The county's economy is centered on tourism, motorsports, healthcare, aerospace, and retail, creating a diverse workforce with varying levels of access to employer-sponsored health insurance.
Volusia County is famous for Daytona International Speedway and its Atlantic Ocean beaches. The economy is driven by NASCAR and motorsports tourism, beach tourism, and a growing healthcare sector (AdventHealth Daytona Beach, Halifax Health). Aerospace companies (tied to Kennedy Space Center proximity) and a large retiree population round out the economy. Many service and hospitality workers in Daytona Beach and the surrounding area lack employer-sponsored health insurance.
