Census numbers released yesterday show that in central Florida, Flagler County is the fastest growing, 3.5% last year, but Volusia County shrank 0.3%. Palm Coast was the fourth fastest growing metropolitan area in the nation between July 2007 and July 2008.
Volusia County population is now estimated at 498,036 as of 7/1/2008, down from 499,734 on 7/1/2007. Brevard County, Seminole County, and Orange County grew less than 1%.
Other fast-growing counties were Sumter at 3.7%, Osceola at 3.1, and Lake at 2.3%.
It will be interesting to see how demographics change as we turn from a boom to a recession to - hopefully - some economic stability. Central Florida is a great place to live and now the real estate opportunities are the best in a generation.
