A decision-led reading path
Useful questions to ask of Hurlburt Field's data
How this reading path is ordered
This is not a composite city score. It is a city-specific route through the available public records, ordered for this profile so the page starts with questions the joined data can actually answer. The route here runs from work and mobility to comparison shortlist; another city can have a different sequence or fewer supported layers because the source joins are not uniform.
For Hurlburt Field, city-specific coverage includes commute-mode shares.
No matched row is reported here for within-city Census tract profiles, local building permits, matched public-school count, annual population history, FBI reported-crime rates; the page leaves those layers out instead of substituting a statewide or national value.
1. Work and mobility
What does the journey to work look like in Hurlburt Field?
Mode share answers how workers usually travel; it does not measure congestion, reliability, distance to a particular job, or the quality of transit service. No single mode completely explains the work trip here. The mix is more useful than a one-number commute grade, especially when comparing places where transit, walking, and remote work divide the non-driving share differently.
Driving alone is the largest reported mode at 66.7%. The reported mean trip to work is 12.5 minutes.
Which cities make useful reference points for Hurlburt Field?
Within Florida, the closest population matches are Olga (2,876 residents, $90,733 income); Westlake (2,876 residents, $140,000 income); Lake Helen (2,877 residents, $94,952 income). Outside the state, the closest population matches in this dataset are Arcola, IL (2,867 residents); Stirling, NJ (2,868 residents); Aspinwall, PA (2,866 residents). A third, income-matched reference set of 6 out-of-state cities sits in the income neighbourhood chart near the Place Dossier plate. These are mechanical peer sets, not claims that the places share a labor market, climate, culture, or metro context.
Use the in-state set to hold state policy and broad price conditions more nearly constant. Use the nationwide size set to ask whether cities with a similar resident count produce different housing, income, or commute outcomes. The income set is a third lens, deliberately separate from population matching.
