The city's economy runs on healthcare, retail, and construction driven by continuous residential development. Spring training baseball facilities bring seasonal tourism. Florida's lack of state income tax is a major draw, especially for retirees relocating from Northeastern states. Income levels are moderate, reflecting a community of retirees living on fixed incomes alongside younger families drawn by affordable housing and proximity to beaches.
