Also of interest is that Valparaiso has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One of the nice things about Valparaiso 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.
Valparaiso is a small city, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
The education level of Valparaiso citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 24.95% of adults in Valparaiso have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Valparaiso in 2018 was $27,657, which is middle income relative to Florida and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $110,628 for a family of four. However, Valparaiso contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
