What it’s like
The place. Greenwood is a very small town in the Florida Panhandle, in Jackson County, where everyone is likely to know one another by sight. Typical homes here are valued well below what is usual across the country, and a larger share of people live below the poverty line than most would expect. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month, while summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, professional and business services, and shops also employing a good number. Across Jackson County, the largest workplaces include Jackson Schools, Jackson Hospital and Walmart. Commutes are on the long side, and very few people work from home. Unemployment in the county has edged up over the past year, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Florida Caverns State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and the Waddells Mill Pond Site, an archaeological site, is also close by. Further afield, Lake Seminole is a large reservoir, and Torreya State Park is another protected area for those willing to make a longer drive. Taken together, the outdoors is the main draw, with parks, water and quiet country within reach.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Greenwood’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 Jackson County.
