Baker County, FL Property Records & Statistics
Baker County has a median rent of $998, below Florida's $1,114 but above the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 23.14% of occupied homes, slightly above the state's 21.62% and the national 21.81%, so most households still own their homes.
The median home value is $206,950, a little under the state figure of $213,800 and well above the national $173,750. The county's median property tax rate of 0.63% is lower than both Florida's 0.75% and the national 0.74%, which keeps the annual tax cost of owning a home modest compared with many other places.
Median household income is $67,466, higher than the state's $63,213 and the national $65,108. That stronger income helps offset rents and home prices that sit near or above national levels. The unemployment rate of 3.14% is above both Florida's 2.61% and the national 2.87%, a sign that the local job market is somewhat softer than average even as incomes remain healthy.
Overall, Baker County pairs moderate home values and lower property taxes with above-average incomes, a slightly larger renter share than the state, and unemployment that runs a bit higher than the benchmarks.
