What it’s like
The place. Midway is a small city in Gadsden County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes are higher than across the county, though a fair number of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in banks, insurance and property. Among the biggest workplaces in Midway are Trulieve Midway, Ajax Building Company and Ring Power. Fewer people have jobs across Gadsden County than a year earlier, and unemployment there has edged up. The typical commute is a long one, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Little River and Lake Talquin State Park are both a short drive away, and Lake Talquin State Forest is close by as well. A longer drive brings you to Apalachicola National Forest, a large protected area of woods and waterways. Doak Campbell Stadium, also a longer drive away, is the best known place nearby for watching a game.

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