Demographics

Last night candidate Ron Exline, District 1, made a statement that we had higher density than Delray Beach and West Palm Beach combined when it came to how many people per square mile. I thought this was an interesting statement. Here are the facts:

Delray Beach: 4,659 per square mile

West Palm Beach: 1,791 per square mile

Lake Worth: 6,516 per square mile

This data is taken from the 2000 Census. I am rather sure that after the 2010 Census, we will find that Lake Worth is more dense than we ever realized. We must have the largest immigrant population per square mile as well.

Building higher is not going to fix this problem.
