The Daytona Beach population exploded in the ten years between censuses. In 1920 there had been just 825 residents reported for the city, but now, in 1930, there were 16,598. In fact, many of the big cities of today were turning up similarly impressive figures- doubling or tripling the number of residents they had had just ten years prior. The state population reached 1,468,211.
The population increases in the twenties by more than twenty-eight and a half percent to reach 968,470 people within the state lines. The foreign-born community in this state was very diverse. England, Spain, Italy, Portugal, as well as many other countries can lay claim to a percentage of that population. However, a larger percentage of the settlers found their way from the West Indies.
In the southern state many men and women are reporting themselves as married for the 1910 census. According to the reports, of the 752,619 people living in the state, sixty-two percent of the males and more than seventy-five and a half percent of the females have already wed.
The population sees yet another decade of impressive growth. At the turn of the twentieth century, the state is home to 528,542 individuals. Unfortunately, a rather larger percentage- nearly sixteen percent or 84,285 of the people residing there are considered to be illiterate.
The number of Florida residents continued growing according to the Florida census records report. The forty-five and a quarter percent growth from one decade earlier has led to a population of 391,422 in 1890. The state is now home to more than seven people per square mile- an impressive feat for such a large piece of land.
In 1880, the report from the state of Florida seems unbelievable. The state has sustained a level of growth that equated to more than forty-eight percent of its population a decade prior. The southern peninsula is now called home by 269,493 people.
The relatively new addition to the nation is making a great deal of headway in the race to populate. Florida reports an impressive 187,748 residents in 1870. According to the Florida census records that is a growth of 34% over the ten year period.
The Florida population of 140,424 represents a substantial growth in ten years. It is broken down by the report into 77,747 whites, nine hundred thirty-two free blacks, 61,745 slaves. Though the number of slaves increased by fifty-seven percent, the number of free blacks did not change at all.
The population jumped to 87,445. Though, 39,310 of those residents were enslaved individuals, there were just a mere nine hundred thirty-two free black people in the state of Florida at this point in history.
The male population over the age of thirty-five in this state is relatively small. Though the total population is 54, 477 in 1840, there are just 2,040 white men over the age of forty, seventy-eight free black men over thirty-five years, and 2,017 male slaves of thirty-five years or more. That is just over seven and a half percent of the whole population.
