What it’s like
The place. Geneva is a small community in Seminole County where the people are somewhat older than across the country as a whole, and nearly everyone who lives here owns the home they live in. Very few residents live below the poverty line, and homes are valued well above what is typical in much of the country. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and daytime highs that stay comfortably warm, while summers run hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Seminole County, the largest workplaces include Seminole Schools, AdventHealth Altamonte Springs and Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year earlier, and the county has added a small number of jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Close to home, Little Big Econ State Forest is a protected natural area a short drive away, and Acrisure Bounce House is a stadium that is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Universal Studios Florida is an amusement park, and the Wekiva River is a river for time on the water, both 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 Geneva’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Seminole County and the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL metro.
