I would say this article is accurate - interesting stat below on how fast we are growing!!

Poverty rate: 14.5%
2016 unemployment rate: 4.8%
Adult obesity rate: 18.8%
Violent crimes per 100,000: 396.2

In the Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island area, 29.3% of the population is 65 and older, making it the seventh oldest community in the country. The Naples metro area is one of many elderly communities in Florida among the happiest nationwide. The area boasts a variety of beaches, golf courses, and resorts, which are enjoyed by the area’s relatively wealthy residents. Of all area households, 8.8% earn $200,000 or more annually, more than double the 4.0% share for Florida as a whole.

While Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island has some of the most expensive real estate in the country, Americans are still relocating to the metro area at a rapid pace. Over the past five years, net migration accounted for 34,572 new residents, one of the largest such growths of any metro area in the country.
