NORTHBAY HEALTHCARE MARKET
 
NorthBay Healthcare draws patients from the Northern Solano County communities of
Vacaville and Fairfield, a non-Kaiser base of approximately 135,000 people. The
population is somewhat younger than surrounding areas, though in recent years there
has been marked growth in middle age and older groups. With an annual growth rate of
1.5% per year, Northern Solano County is one of the faster growing areas in Northern
California. A solid middle class community with one of California’s lowest uninsured
rates, Solano County ranks 9th in the state in median income. An excellent location,
affordable housing and an expanding job base fuel the growth of this desirable
community.
