There are more people per square mile in Pinellas County than any other
county in Florida. In 2000, the last year a full population census
was undertaken, the population density of Pinellas County was 3,292
persons per square mile, 1.4 times the second highest county in
Florida, Broward County. Of more than 3,100 counties in the United
States (excluding Puerto Rico), Pinellas had the 32nd
highest population density, placing Pinellas in the top 1% of all
U.S. counties.Understanding the diverse
characteristics of Pinellas County and our children helps JWB make
important decisions about
critical programs
including helping children prepare for a quality education, ensuring
children are receiving a quality education, helping to eliminate
child maltreatment, addressing juvenile justice issues and many
others. This website covers a wide range of important indicators
and measures which provide critical understanding of the state of
Pinellas County children and families.
