What it’s like
The place. Moore Haven is a small city in Glades County, in the interior of south Florida, with a population that stays close to one another in a way larger towns rarely do. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and household incomes across Glades County sit below what is typical for Florida as a whole. Homes are valued at a modest level, and winters are mild, with highs in the comfortable range and lows that seldom feel cold. Summers are hot, August the warmest month, and the year brings a good deal of rain but little or no snow.
Work. Many residents work in the building trades, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Glades County, the largest workplaces include Glades Schools and Wedgworth's, Inc Moore Haven, which makes mixed fertilizers. Unemployment across the county has been a little higher than a year earlier, though the county had more jobs last year than the year before. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Fisheating Creek, a river, and Fort Center, an archaeological site, are both a short drive away, as is Monkey Box, a tourist attraction. Lake Okeechobee, the large lake to the east, is a longer drive away and draws many visitors for time on the water. With mild winters and little snow, getting outdoors is possible through much of the year.

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