Among the 120 largest places in Florida, Fountainebleau has the lowest unemployment rate (2.5%), followed by The Hammocks and Fruit Cove. Click any column to sort; click a city for its guide.
Across the 120 places in Florida that we cover, the median is 4.8% and the average 5.0%; the figure runs from 2.5% (Fountainebleau) to 11.6% (Pine Hills). That is a spread of 4.7 times between the two ends. The state figure is 4.8%; 59 of the 120 places are above it and 61 at or below.
The first five are Fountainebleau, The Hammocks, Fruit Cove, Plant City, Horizon West. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: unemployment from the ACS is a survey estimate with a margin of error, and small places can swing widely. 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.
