Is Lantana a good place to live?
Lantana does especially well on health: residents are healthier than 98% of U.S. towns on CDC estimates. Add incomes to its strengths (A+) — the median household earns $199K. The trade-off is cost of living (C−): the typical home is worth about $588K, 6.5 years of the Dallas metro’s $90K median household income. Walkability is weaker too (C−). Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than nearly four fifths of U.S. towns. Overall, that makes a B+, better than 66% of U.S. towns. That places it 97th of 640 in Texas. On history, just 82 of Texas’ 1,000 towns do worse.
