What it’s like
The place. Havana is a small town in Gadsden County, and most of its homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes here run well above the county's, and the typical home value sits in the middle of the range. Winters are cool and mild, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Gadsden County, the largest workplaces include Gadsden Schools, Boise Cascade Co and Ajax Building Company. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. A four-year degree is held by a smaller share of adults than not, and a typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Lake Jackson is a lake a short drive away, and it is the nearest of the places worth knowing. A longer drive brings you to Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park, a botanical garden, and to Lake Talquin State Park, a protected area set around a lake. Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park, also a longer drive, is a protected area that preserves an old ceremonial site.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Havana’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 Gadsden County and the Tallahassee, FL metro.
