What it’s like
The place. Yankeetown is a very small town on Florida's Gulf coast, where residents are considerably older than in most places and many have settled into a quiet, long-established way of life. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and a four-year degree is held by a fair share of adults. Winters are mild, with a coolest month of January that brings crisp days and cool nights, snow is rare, and summers are hot and rainy through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Levy County, the largest workplaces include Levy Schools, Walmart and Seabring Marine Industries Corporate. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, and there are slightly fewer jobs there than the year before.
Things to do. A short drive away, Crystal River is a river well known for its waters, and Fort Island Gulf Beach offers a beach on the Gulf. A longer drive brings you to Crystal River Archaeological State Park, an archaeological site, and to Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area for wildlife and quiet walks.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Yankeetown’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 Levy County and the Gainesville, FL metro.
