Calhoun County's economy rests on agriculture and timber, county-and-school-district government, a regional hospital, and a small corrections-and-services base. It is one of the smallest, most rural, and most affordable economies in Florida, and it absorbed severe damage from Hurricane Michael in 2018.

A median-priced Calhoun County home costs about $1,303/month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance, 10% down) against median household income of $46,901.

At about $1,669 a year on average, Calhoun is middle-of-the-pack for Florida — manageable, but very address-dependent near the water. Wind-mitigation features earn insurance credits; flood insurance is priced separately by address. Run your own numbers with the true cost calculator.

Calhoun County has about 13,593 residents. On a net domestic basis it saw net domestic out-migration of about 25 people and a net -$2.35M in adjusted gross income in the latest IRS filing year (county-to-county moves within the U.S.; this does not count international migration or births). Migration is the demand engine behind prices: when more income flows in than out, it supports both rents and values.

Expect Calhoun to remain one of the most affordable markets in the state over the next 12 months, with modest local demand, continued post-Michael rebuilding, and very low prices.

Agriculture, timber, and government anchor this very small Apalachicola River county that was hit hard by Hurricane Michael.

A deep, diversified employer base is what underpins housing demand through national cycles. Talk to a local Calhoun County agent →

Calhoun County is quiet river-and-forest Panhandle: the Apalachicola and Chipola rivers for fishing and paddling, the Panhandle Pioneer Settlement living-history museum in Blountstown, and a rolling, agricultural-and-timber landscape. It is a remote, very affordable, outdoors-and-farming lifestyle along one of Florida's great rivers.

Calhoun County's risks are rural and storm-related: Hurricane Michael (2018) caused catastrophic damage across the county, recovery has been long, the economy is tiny and agriculture-timber-and-government dependent, and incomes are low. It is inland, so surge is not a factor, but wind exposure is real, and the market is very small.
