OKALOOSA COUNTY DEMOGRAPHICS

See the Carriage Hills Hot Spot page to see why Money Magazine rated Ft Walton Beach 4th best small southern city to live.

In survey after survey of business climate and opportunities, one state keeps coming out a winner. FLORIDA has the country's lowest business costs, its fastest-growing markets, and something else. Today factors such as quality of life are playing a more prominent role in business location decisions. Such factors indirectly affect a company's "bottom line," particularly in the area of recruiting and retaining key personnel. The powerful recruiting combination of great weather, beautiful beaches, low taxes, affordable housing with more for the money, and quality, public education is an unbeatable formula for success.
