Is Pasadena Hills a good place to live?

Pasadena Hills’s grades pull in different directions. The weak point is cost of living (C): the typical home is worth about $339K, 4.6 years of the Tampa metro’s $74K median household income. It lags on walkability as well. Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 70% of U.S. towns. Hazard risk is weaker too (C−): FEMA rates its natural-hazard risk higher than 71% of U.S. communities, with inland flooding at the top. Incomes are its strong suit (A−): the median household earns $85K. Put together, the subjects come to a C+ overall, better than 44% of U.S. towns. In the ranking it comes 221st of 634 in Florida.
