2015-2016 Political Almanac of Florida

Who lives where in Florida? What do they care about? How do they vote?

Who lives where in Florida, and how do they vote? This authoritative guide to the demographics of this unique state looks at each of its 120 state House districts up close, with information about who lives there, and how they've voted in recent elections and why. It's a detailed, must-have guide for anyone working in Florida politics, or just interested in the political demography of one of the nation's most dynamic states. From the conservative Navy-town of Pensacola to bastions of Democratic voting in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and everything in between, The News Service of Florida's Political Almanac of Florida tells the story of the state's voters: who they are, where they came from, and how they're likely to cast their ballots.
