Is Woodville a good place to live?
A tough set of grades. Health is its weak spot: residents are less healthy than 88% of U.S. towns on CDC estimates. Walkability is weaker too. Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 92% of U.S. towns. Its strongest subject is cost of living: a typical home costs about $165K, 2.5 years of the Tallahassee metro’s $65K median household income. All told, that adds up to a D overall and a rank of 558th of 634 in Florida. It comes out better than 8% of U.S. towns. Incomes are weaker too — the median household income is $54K, and 17% of residents live below the poverty line.
