Demographics
A Portrait of Florida
Florida spreads across about 24.4 square miles of mostly forested mountain land on the Mohawk Trail, and only a few hundred people live in it, roughly 28 to the square mile. It is an older town than most: about one resident in four is 65 or over. Nine in ten of its homes are owner-occupied, households average about two and a half people, and almost all residents were born in the United States. Figures below are from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Follow the source links for the latest.
