Moving to
Middleburg.

$1,093/mo median rent

Cost of living works in this city's favor. Median rent sits around $1,093 a month, nothing that raises eyebrows. Solid value overall. Home prices are reasonable, with a median around $254,600. Not a steal, but not intimidating either.

4.1% county unemployment

Unemployment in Clay County is 4.1%, 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.

242 violent crimes per 100k, whole jurisdiction

Middleburg doesn't have its own police department, so there's no crime rate for it alone. The figures shown are for the Clay 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 35.1 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. 9 in 10 workers drive to work; 12% work from home.

1 hospital

There's one Medicare-certified hospital inside city limits, rated 3.0 out of 5 by Medicare. Hospitals in neighboring towns aren't counted here.

19% 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 and 1 private school. The student-to-teacher ratio is 14:1, well below the national average of 16:1. Smaller class sizes are generally a positive sign for a district.

The nearest national park or historic site is Castillo de San Marcos National Monument (35 miles away). There are 5 national parks and sites within a day's drive.
