What it’s like
The place. Blountstown is a small city in Calhoun County, in the Florida Panhandle. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's, though a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are mild, with little or no snow, while summers are hot and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in town are Calhoun Schools, Sovereign Healthcare Holdings and Blountstown Health and Rehabilitation. The typical trip to work is moderate in length, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Archaeological sites, the Cayson Mound and Village Site and the Yon Mound and Village Site, lie in or beside town, and the Otis Hare Archeological Site is a short drive away. A longer drive leads to open country, including Apalachicola National Forest, a protected area, and Florida Caverns State Park, also a protected area.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Blountstown’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Calhoun County.
