What it’s like
The place. Chokoloskee is a very small community on the southwest Florida coast, with a population that is older than in much of the country. Household incomes run somewhat above the county's, and the typical home is valued well below what many coastal Florida buyers expect. Winters are mild and warm by most American standards, and summers are hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in shops. Across Collier County, some of the largest workplaces are Collier Schools, Naples Community Hospital and Physicians Regional Medical Center. Unemployment across the county has risen slightly over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown only a little.
Things to do. The Lopez River runs in or beside town, and the Turner River Site, an archaeological site, is just as close. A short drive away are several more archaeological sites, including the Halfway Creek Site and the Plaza Site. For a longer outing, Big Cypress National Preserve is a protected area a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Chokoloskee’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 Collier County and the Naples-Marco Island, FL metro.
