What it’s like
The place. Across St. Johns County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in much of the country. Incomes are well above the national typical level, and the median age is higher than the country's as a whole. Winters are mild, with the coldest weather in January, and summers are hot and wet, with a good deal of rain across the year and little or no snow. Rents are high, and many people commute to work from home more often than most places.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in banks, insurance and property, or in shops. Jobs grew across the county over the past year, though unemployment has edged up from a year earlier. Many adults hold a four-year degree, more than is typical nationally.
Things to do. Castillo de San Marcos is a fort, a longer drive away, and Anastasia Island is a beach, also a longer drive away. Black Creek, a river, is a short drive away, and the Military Museum of North Florida, also a museum a short drive away, offers a closer option.
