and Demographic Characteristics
Learn
about Florida's geographic and demographic charicteristics.
Florida's
Characteristics
Palm trees, sandy beaches, warm climate, and Mickey Mouse.
What does this remind you of? Ahhh... yes... beautiful Florida.
These
things aren't just there to make Florida a HUGE tourist attraction;
they are all part of Florida's geography... well, exept for
the Mickey Mouse.
Florida's
Geography
Florida is practically all plains, but there is an area in
the south called the Florida Everglades. In the north part
of Florida, the land is mostly flat studded by lakes and sinkholes.
Flat and wooded areas including coastal areas, make up the
south.
Florida's
Demography
Florida's people are also very interesting. Did you know that
death by homicide for non-white males remians double that
of all other populations groups combined? Or that heart disease
accounts for one of every three deaths due in part to Florida's
large elderly population? The Florida population has risen
9.4% since 1990 and more than doubled since 1970.
