Living in Harlem, Florida

Small place: Census estimates for places under 5,000 people have wide margins of error. Treat these figures as rough.

Unincorporated: there's no city government; Hendry County provides roads, zoning and law enforcement.

Nearest 24-hour emergency room

Hendry Regional Medical Center, in Clewiston, about 2 miles away (a small rural Critical Access Hospital).²

Straight-line distance from the town's center; driving is longer. Freestanding ERs and urgent care aren't counted.

Life in the Heartland

Florida's cattle, citrus and lake country, between the two coasts: Sebring and Avon Park on the ridge, Wauchula and Arcadia on the Peace River, and Okeechobee, Clewiston and LaBelle around the big lake.^{4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Hazards: Hurricanes cross the peninsula: storms that come ashore on either coast can reach the region with damaging wind, falling trees, long outages and river flooding. Mobile and manufactured homes should evacuate.⁷
