Thompson, Director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, Florida State Board of Health. No statement is given as to just how Dr. ‘Thompson arrived at his There has heen no official or unofficial count of Florida population since taken. In 1935 there will be a state cen- sus. We must take it, therefore, that the | present estimates are merely estimates. Of special interest to Tampa is the fact that, in this report, this city moves up ‘to second place in population in the state. i In ‘the federal census of 1930, Tampa was | | | third. | against 120,637 for Miami, and 129,549 It was given then 101,161, as for Jacksonville. In the present estimate, Tampa is.given 114,100, second to Jackson- | This would indicate a gain in three years of 15,000 for Jacksonville, Miami. Pike : Jacksonville’s estimated, population , white | The feature of the present population estimate with which we are inclined to dif- fer is:that which rates Hillsborough county second to Dade. Hillsborough has led the counties in population in all recent census counts, This estimate puts Dade first with 184,500, Hillsborough second with 180,600, Duval third with 172,900. It would be ex- tremely difficult to find 73,000 people in Dade county outside of Miami—yet that is the difference stated between city and given in Hillsborough county is:66,000— and there is easily ‘that many feople, and } more, in this county, outside the corporate limits of Tampa. This report makes St. Petersbugh the fourth city in the state with a population of 45,000, others ranking as follows: West Palm Beach, 33,600; Orlando, 33,600; Pen- sacola, 31,800; Lakeland, 23,200; Daytona ‘Beach, 20,600; St. Augustine, 14,600; Key West, 12,881; Tallahassee, © 12,700; Gainesville, 12,000; Sanford, 12,000; Fort Lauderdale, 11,500; Fort Myers, 11,300; and Sarasota, 10,900.
