Moving to
Hudson.

$1,044/mo median rent

Rent here is genuinely low, with median rent around $1,044 a month. Factoring in local incomes, the value gets even better. Money stretches further here than in most of the country. Home prices are reasonable, with a median around $269,200. Not a steal, but not intimidating either.

4.3% county unemployment

Unemployment in Pasco County is 4.3%, close to the national average of 4.3%. That's the county-wide rate; BLS doesn't measure a place this size on its own.

219 violent crimes per 100k, whole jurisdiction

Hudson doesn't have its own police department, so there's no crime rate for it alone. The figures shown are for the Pasco County Sheriff's Office jurisdiction as a whole, which runs below the national average for violent crime and covers many communities. Individual neighborhoods can differ a lot from that overall rate.

35 min average commute

Traffic is a real factor here. The 34.7 minute average means plenty of commuters are pushing 45 to 60 minutes on a bad day. Proximity to work matters more here than it might elsewhere. 8 in 10 workers drive to work; 17% work from home.

1 hospital

There's one Medicare-certified hospital inside city limits, rated 2.0 out of 5 by Medicare. Hospitals in neighboring towns aren't counted here.

18% bachelor's degree or higher

This is a working-class city, and college degree rates reflect that. Trades, manufacturing, and service industries tend to dominate the local economy, which is a strength for some fields and a real constraint for others.

1 public school inside the boundary

There is 1 public school inside the boundary.

The nearest national park or historic site is De Soto National Memorial (58 miles away).
