Is Orangetree a good place to live?

Plenty to like here, at a price. Its best grade is for incomes: the median household earns $113K. It is strong on health as well (A): residents are healthier than 88% of U.S. towns on CDC estimates. The trade-off is walkability. Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than just over four fifths of U.S. towns. Hazard risk is weaker too: FEMA rates its natural-hazard risk higher than 97% of U.S. communities, with inland flooding at the top. Homes run about $499K for a typical one, 5.5 times the Naples metro’s $90K median household income. Overall, that makes a B+, good for 51st of 634 in Florida. On that grade it does better than 69% of U.S. towns.
