Each year, the Forecasting and Trends Office (FTO) publishes population estimates and future year projections. The population estimates can be used for a variety of planning studies including statewide and regional transportation plan updates, subarea and corridor studies, and funding allocations for various planning agencies.The 2020 population estimates reported are based on the US Census Bureau 2020 Decennial Census. The 2021 population estimates are based on the population estimates developed by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) at the University of Florida. BEBR uses the decennial census count for April 1, 2020, as the starting point for state-level projections. More information is available from BEBR here.This dataset contains boundaries for all incorporated places (e.g., city, town, village) and each county’s unincorporated area in the State of Florida with 2020 census population and 2021 population estimates.

All legal boundaries and names in this dataset are from the US Census Bureau’s TIGER/Line Files (2021).BEBR provides 2021 population estimates for counties in Florida. However, UC boundaries may not coincide with the jurisdictional boundaries of counties and UCs often spread into several counties. To estimate the population for an UC, first the ratio of the subject UC that is contained within a county (or sub-area) to the area of the entire county was determined. That ratio was multiplied by the estimated county population to obtain the population for that sub-area. The population for the entire UC is the sum of all sub-area populations estimated from the counties they are located within.For the 2010 Census, urban areas comprised a “densely settled core of census tracts and/or census blocks that meet minimum population density requirements, along with adjacent territory containing non-residential urban land uses as well as territory with low population density included to link outlying densely settled territory with the densely settled core.” In 2010, the US Census Bureau identified two types of urban areas—Urbanized Areas (UAs) and UCs. UCs have a population of at least 2,500 and less than 50,000 people. Note: Century, FL--AL Urban Cluster is located in two states: Florida (Escambia County) and Alabama (Escambia County). 2021 population of Escambia County, AL used for this estimation is from the US Census annual population estimates (2020-2021). All other Urban Clusters are located entirely within the state of Florida. Please see the Data Dictionary for more information on data fields.
