What it’s like

The place. Lecanto is a small community in Citrus County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, far more than across most of the country. Residents are older than in the typical American town, and few live below the poverty line. Winters are mild, with January days that stay comfortably cool and nights that rarely turn harsh, while summers are hot, and snow is rare and rain is plentiful through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, restaurants and hotels, and professional and business services. Walmart, the vehicle parts wholesaler LKQ and Life Care Center of Citrus County are among the largest workplaces in Lecanto. More people work from home than in many places, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country.

Things to do. Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and the Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins State Historic Site are both a short drive away, the first a protected area for wildlife and the second the remains of a nineteenth-century sugar works. Crystal River Archaeological State Park, also a short drive away, preserves an archaeological site beside the water. The Crystal River itself is a longer drive.
