What it’s like
The place. Sorrento is a very small community in Lake County, Florida, with far fewer people than most towns. Homes here are valued above what is typical for the country, and the county's household incomes sit comfortably in the middle range. Winters are mild and short, with the coolest days in January still pleasant by northern standards, while summers are hot, and rain and the occasional storm come in generous amounts over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in shops, or in professional and business services. Across Lake County, the largest workplaces include Lake Schools, Orlando Health South Lake Hospital and AdventHealth Waterman. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the number of jobs has grown slightly.
Things to do. Wekiwa Springs State Park, a protected area of springs and woodland, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Orlando's best-known draws are a longer drive: Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios Florida are amusement parks, and SeaWorld Orlando is an aquarium and marine park.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Sorrento’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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.
