What the ranking shows

Across the 120 places in Florida that we cover, the median is 63,730 and the average 92,485; the figure runs from 977,670 (Jacksonville) to 35,877 (Fruit Cove). That is a spread of 27.3 times between the two ends.

How to use it

The first five are Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, St. Petersburg. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: size brings more employers and services but also longer commutes and more competition for housing. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
