Key findings
-
Florida and Tennessee land is outpacing the nation. Between 2025 and 2026, farm real estate values rose 5.2% in Florida (to $9,150 an acre) and 5.7% in Tennessee (to $6,500), compared with 3.4% nationally. Since 2021, Tennessee values are up 51.5% and Florida's are up 46.6%, versus 35.1% for the U.S. (USDA NASS Land Values 2026 Summary, July 31, 2026)
-
South Florida and Tennessee's leading counties top the rankings. Miami-Dade ($50,161 an acre), Broward ($35,434) and Pinellas ($25,955) have Florida's highest farmland values. Davidson ($12,414), Knox ($12,302) and Unicoi ($10,994*) lead Tennessee. The most affordable counties are Jackson, FL ($4,146) and Chester, TN ($2,781). (USDA 2022 Census of Agriculture)
-
Some of the fastest growth came from rural Panhandle and Middle Tennessee counties. From 2017 to 2022, Bay County, FL's farmland value per acre nearly tripled (+192%, from $2,051 to $5,992), followed by Wakulla (+167%) and Calhoun (+109%). In Tennessee, Warren County led (+90%, from $3,456 to $6,580), followed by Cannon and Trousdale (each about +70%). Values rose in 61 of 64 comparable Florida counties and 93 of 95 Tennessee counties. (USDA 2017 and 2022 Censuses of Agriculture)
-
Homesite land has risen even faster than farmland. FHFA's appraisal-based estimates put the value of a standard quarter-acre residential lot in Florida at $184,500 in 2022, up 202% from $61,100 in 2012. Tennessee's rose 84%, from $36,400 to $67,000. St. Lucie County, FL saw the largest jump, with its typical quarter-acre lot up 382% (from $20,300 to $97,900). In Tennessee, Davidson County led at +196%. (FHFA Working Paper 19-01 dataset, v4.0, June 2024)
* Counties marked with an asterisk had fewer than 10,000 acres in farms in 2022, so a few high-value parcels can swing their averages a lot.

"Farm real estate" is the value of all land and buildings on farms.
Methodology & sources
- Statewide values (2021–2026): USDA NASS Land Values 2026 Summary, released July 31, 2026 (report). It is based on an annual survey of about 30,000 farm operations from April to June. We used farm real estate (land and buildings), cropland and pasture values as published, which may reflect USDA's revisions to earlier years.
- County values: USDA NASS 2022 Census of Agriculture, "Ag land, incl. buildings – asset value, measured in $ / acre," taken from the official Quick Stats bulk file (qs.census2022), with 2017 values from qs.census2017 (Quick Stats · bulk files). These are values that farm operators report, covering all land in farms, including buildings. They are not sale prices of individual parcels.
- Residential land: FHFA Working Paper 19-01 dataset, v4.0, June 2024 (dataset page). It covers land under existing single-family homes, estimated from appraisals. The "quarter-acre lot" value is standardized to a quarter acre, and "per acre as-is" is the average for actual lot sizes.
- Our calculations: We calculated only rankings (1 = highest value among counties with published data) and percentage change, (new − old) ÷ old. All dollar figures are nominal and not adjusted for inflation. We did not estimate, interpolate or fill in any missing values. Unavailable figures are marked "n/a."
- Limitations: County farmland values from the Census of Agriculture are as of 2022. The next Census, covering 2027, will update them. Values for counties with little farmland can be volatile. Asking prices on land-listing sites were not used, because they are not an official measure. Neither source reflects the price of a specific parcel. Access, road frontage, utilities, zoning, flood zone and title all affect what an individual lot is worth.

Are these the prices I'd get for my lot? No. These are county and state averages. A specific parcel's value depends on access, utilities, zoning, wetlands, flood zone, size and recent comparable sales nearby.
How often is this data updated? USDA releases statewide land values every summer, and county farmland values come out with each five-year Census of Agriculture. We plan to update this page when new official data is released.
