LOCATION:  Tallahassee, nestled among the rolling hills of northwest Florida,
is located in the center of the eight-county "Big Bend" area.
Geographically, Tallahassee is close to both the Gulf of Mexico, a mere
twenty miles to the south, and to Georgia, fourteen miles to the north.

 

PHYSIOGRAPHY:  Tallahassee's rolling landscape, typical of regions further
north, is unique among the major cities of Florida.  Some areas of the
county, including the downtown ridge encompassing the Capitol complex, City
Hall, and the County Courthouse, exceed elevations of 200 feet.  The highest
elevation in Leon County is 288 feet, found in the northern part of the
county, about a quarter mile to the southwest of Lake McBride.

 

SCHOOLS:  The average SAT score of 1,052 in Leon County (2001-02 school year)
was above both the Florida average (997) and national average (1,020).  Leon
County Schools rank among the top districts in the state for student success
as measured by the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test).  Of the 67
school districts in Florida, Leon County ranks among the top 7 districts in
every subject at every grade level (in all but four areas, ranks in top 5
districts).  Tallahassee is home to the following colleges: FLORIDA STATE
UNIVERSITY (Full-time enrollment: 29,949); FLORIDA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHNICAL
UNIVERSITY (FT enrollment: 10,991); and, TALLAHASSEE COMMUNITY COLLEGE (FT
enrollment: 7,016).

 

CLIMATE:  Tallahassee has the mild, moist climate characteristic of the Gulf
States, and experiences a subtropical summer similar to the rest of Florida.
In contrast to the Florida peninsula, however, the panhandle, of which
Tallahassee is a part, experiences four seasons.  The average high and low
temperature for June - July is 92, 72 and for December - February is 65, 41.

 

DEMOGRAPHICS:  The population of Leon County continues to grow at a steady
pace, averaging 2.9% per year in the 1980's and 2.4% per year in the 1990's.
Presently 63% of the population of Leon County resides within the City limits
of Tallahassee and 37% of the population lives in the unincorporated areas of
the County.  The median age of Leon County is 29.5, ranking Leon County as
the second youngest of Florida's sixty-seven counties.
