Moving to
Palm Coast.

$1,782/mo median rent

Rent runs on the higher side, at $1,782 a month median. Whether that premium makes sense usually comes down to the local job market and what it pays. Home prices run above average, with a median around $350,800. Buyers should expect to stretch their budget here.

4.7% unemployment

Unemployment here is 4.7%, close to the national average of 4.3%.

104 violent crimes per 100k, whole jurisdiction

Palm Coast doesn't have its own police department, so there's no crime rate for it alone. The figures shown are for the Flagler 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.

27 min average commute

Commutes run about average, at 27 minutes. Fine day to day, but it adds up over a year, and where someone lives relative to where they work starts to matter. 8 in 10 workers drive to work; 17% work from home.

2 hospitals

There are 2 Medicare-certified hospitals inside city limits. They average 4.5 out of 5 on Medicare's star rating.

30% bachelor's degree or higher

College degree attainment runs below average at 30%. That tends to reflect a more trade and working-class economy, which can be great or limiting depending on the industry.

12 public schools inside the boundary

There are 12 public schools inside the boundary and 6 private schools. The student-to-teacher ratio is 19:1, slightly above the national average of 16:1.
