Oviedo is a medium-sized city located in the state of Florida. With a population of 39,580 people and 13 associated neighborhoods, Oviedo is the 87th largest community in Florida.
Housing costs in Oviedo are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Florida.
Also of interest is that Oviedo has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 20.97% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Because of many things, Oviedo is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Oviedo really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Oviedo perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
