Glades County emerges as the state’s least densely populated county with only 24 persons per square mile, whereas Broward County has the highest density of 5,070 persons per square mile. Population figures are based on the 2010 United States Census. That is, only the land area of census blocks with at least one person enumerated in Census 2010 is included in our second measure of population density. Statewide, just under two thirds of the total land area is made up of census blocks with nonzero population. Source: Census 2010. Median Age by County in Florida: 1970, 2010 and 2040 [1, 2] From 1970–2010, median age increased for 62 of Florida’s 67 counties. Monroe, Osceola and Collier counties join the top ten based on census block density at the 95. All population data used in this analysis come from Census 2010. Population density ranged from 10 persons per square mile in Liberty County to 3,348 persons per square mile in Pinellas County. The most commonly used way to calculate population density is to divide the total population of an area by the total land area. Figure 2. Florida Products. The average population of Florida's counties is 280,616; Miami-Dade County is the most populous (2,662,874) and Liberty County is the least (8,365). QuickFacts provides statistics for all states and counties, and for cities and towns with a population of 5,000 or more. See the Schedule of Releases for more information. Note:Density is measured per square mile; 1 density computed using total land area; 2 density computed excluding the land area of zero population census blocks; 3 density computed using census block median; 4 density computed using census block 95th percentile.
