Currently, little agriculture and cattle industry remains, and the county hasquickly moved into a series of upper-priced housing communities with supporting localbusinesses and social services.Located between Orange County with its sports and entertainment venues, and VolusiaCounty with its beaches and tourist attractions, Seminole County, with its lower tax rate,serves as a residential base for many persons working in Orange and Volusia Counties.Between April 1, 2010, and April 1, 2020, state population growth is expected to average220,033 new residents per year, representing a compound growth rate of 1.12% over this10‐year time period. As Florida’s 13th most populous county with 2.2% of the state’spopulation, Seminole County must be prepared to adjust services accordingly.Seminole County’s population consisted of355,329 persons according to the 2000 censusand increased to 445,479 persons according tothe 2016 census, an increase of 33%.
