What makes Levy County different: Coastal Levy County is anchored by Cedar Key, which produces the bulk of Florida's farm-raised hard clams — hundreds of millions of clams a year supporting a multimillion-dollar aquaculture economy. Levy is effectively a hospital desert: its last inpatient hospital, Regional General Hospital in Williston, closed in 2019, so its high 65-plus retiree population (24.8%) now travels to Gainesville or Ocala for inpatient care.
