  • Section 3 Affected Environment
    SECTION 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS This section details socio-economic conditions including population, housing, employment, and income characteristics. 3.1.1 Population Characteristics The study area for the Florida High Speed Rail (FHSR) project extends from downtown Tampa in Hillsborough County (Corridor A), through Polk and Osceola counties, and terminates in the city of Orlando in Orange County (Corridor E) (Section 2, Figure 2-1). The counties in this central Florida region are experiencing tremendous growth and are projected to continue this growth pattern in the short-term and long-term future. In each county, a majority of the population resides in unincorporated regions and this trend is projected to continue into the short- term and long-term future. Table 3-1 illustrates county population growth that occurred between the years 1980, 1990, and 2000; population projections for the years 2010 and 2020; and the population percentage change by county and state between the years 1980-1990, 1990-2000, and 2000-2020.
