The quick read
Reading Horizon West, FL beyond the headline numbers
Horizon West sits inside Orange County, Florida, at roughly 28.43°N, -81.62°W. Population 14,000, $127,335 median household income. Median home value $562,200, median rent $2,464. Poverty rate 7.3%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.
