About the area

Rural AgriculturalLakefrontCar-DependentEconomically Distressed

Pahokee is a small, tight-knit agricultural city situated on the eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee in western Palm Beach County. Known for its rich muck soil and sugarcane farming heritage, it offers direct access to freshwater fishing and the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail amidst noticeable rural decay.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
