Population Growth
Below is the historical population from the census data.
Below is a projection from the 2004 Lehigh Acres Population Study. You will see that our population has surpassed the projections that were made in 2004.
Growth is happening faster than it was anticipated.
Pulled from the LAMSSID 2024-2028 Strategic Plan;
"The population with LA-MSID's borders was approximately 87,500 in 2010 and has increased. Lehigh Acres' population has been estimated by BEBR of the University of Florida for the year 2018 at 135,000. The actual census from 2020 reported a population of 115,000, which is underwhelmingly skeptical. Certain segments of the population may be unwilling to be counted."
