An interactive map makes it easier to track county-by-county population changes in Florida. It shows which sub-groups have grown and by how much between the 2000 and 2010 census.
Only two Florida counties saw a population decrease over the period, for example, Monroe and Pinellas. However, the Jacksonville area, Central Florida, and few Panhandle counties saw greater than 20 percent growth.
The tool includes 12 maps (click on the arrow by “view more maps” in the upper left), including some specific to real estate, such as the number of vacant homes and the change in vacant housing units.
