If it looks as though there are 182 more people per square mile in Cape Coral, Fla., than there were a decade ago, that’s because there are. The Florida metro has added the second-greatest number of people per square mile since 2010, according to a Social Explorer analysis of 2020 Census data. Cape Coral trailed perennially crowded New York (+186) but topped San Francisco (+167) for dense growth over the decade.
Florida metros accounted for four of the largest increases in density; Tampa ranked fourth (+156); Orlando, fifth (+154); and Miami 10th (+113).
