Living in Inverness Highlands North, 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; Citrus County provides roads, zoning and law enforcement.

Nearest 24-hour emergency room

HCA Florida Citrus Hospital, in Inverness, about 2 miles away.²

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

Life in the Big Bend and Nature Coast

Tallahassee, the state capital and a two-university town, plus the quiet Gulf coast that curves from Apalachicola around to Crystal River: oyster and clam towns, springs, manatees and some of the least-developed coastline left in Florida.^4,5,6,7

Hazards: Storm surge on a shallow, low-lying coast. Idalia came ashore at Keaton Beach on August 30, 2023, as a Category 3 with record surge; Helene came ashore near Perry on September 26, 2024, with 140 mph winds, the strongest hurricane to hit the Big Bend since records began in 1900, with flooding over 16 feet in places. Cedar Key was badly damaged by both.^8,9,10
