COMMUNITY PROFILE The City of Fort Walton Beach, Florida is located in the Florida Panhandle, approximately 40 miles east of Pensacola, Florida. Fort Walton Beach, SMSA has a population of approximately 188, 900 with an estimated 21, 008 living within the City limits. Peak seasonal population of the City is estimated to be around 22, 226. The City contains 4,400 acres or seven ( 7) square miles of land and contains 9, 007 dwelling units. Two military installations, Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field, are major employers in the area. These bases have introduced many people to the area who have made the Fort Walton Beach area their home upon retirement. The also has a Commerce & City Technology Park which contains many defense contracting firms and provides employment for many residents. During times of military cutback, the City has seen the local base~ expanded or remain constant. Military personnel and their dependents comprise approximately one third of the total population of the City of Fort Watton Beach. As there is no military housing located within the City limits, these households occupy traditional housing types provided by the private sector. Comparison of the 1990 and 2000 Census figures shows that the City has only experienced a moderate increase in population of approximately 2. 1 percent. The City does not expect to experience any significant change to this growth pattern. The City is bounded by Santa Rosa Sound to the south, Choctawhatchee Bay to the east, and Eglin Air Force Base and Okaloosa to the north. The only opportunity for the City to significantly impact its growth pattern is through annexation. A.
