Placida is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of 2,545 people and just one neighborhood, Placida is the 354th largest community in Florida.
Placida home prices are not only among the most expensive in Florida, but Placida real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Placida is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 88.15% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Placida is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Placida who work in sales jobs (29.83%), food service (26.50%), and management occupations (25.03%).
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 21.44% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Another notable thing is that Placida is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Placida’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Placida’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the nation, making it a very safe place to live.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Placida is worth considering.
One of the nice things about Placida is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
In Placida, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 31.87 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
Being a small town, Placida does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
Placida is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 40.88% of adults in Placida have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.
The per capita income in Placida in 2018 was $69,226, which is wealthy relative to Florida and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $276,904 for a family of four. However, Placida contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Placida home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Placida residents report their race to be White, followed by Native American. Important ancestries of people in Placida include Irish, German, English, Polish, and Scottish.
