Hollywood Florida -
The 10th Largest City in Florida
The City of Hollywood is a
mature and built-out community, where rapid population growth in the
1950s and 1960s has given way to a population that is stable in size
but undergoing significant changes in its composition. The October 1997
issue of Money Magazine noted that Hollywood's demographics best
represent what the United States will look like in the year 2022.
Hollywood's racial diversity, cultural variety, and blend of the old
and young are where the country is headed. Twenty-seven percent of
Hollywood's residents are 55 or older; thirteen percent are 45 to 54;
and thirty-one percent are 25 to 44. Hispanics make up seventeen
percent; African Americans thirteen percent; Whites sixty-eight
percent; and Asian Americans two percent of the population. The
magazine forecasts that this will be the composition of the United
States in the year 2022, with the exception that Hispanics will be
fourteen percent and Asian Americans five percent. Hollywood, the "City
of the Future," is proud of its cultural and racial diversity.
A coastal city of over 130,000 residents located in Broward County, Hollywood is nestled between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport abuts the city, while Port Everglades, the second busiest cruise port in the world, is partially within its municipal boundaries. Interstate 95, the Florida Turnpike, Tri-County Commuter Rail, and two major railroads cut through the city in a north-south direction. Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami are less than twenty-five miles away, providing further opportunities for Hollywood residents and companies to have access to the global marketplace. The region is served by a substantial post-secondary educational infrastructure, including Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, the University of Miami, a number of smaller private universities and colleges, and a community college system.
