The New York Times did an this week on how the demographics are changing for counties around the country – Minorities Now Form Majority in One-Third of Most-Populous Counties.

Escambia County has seen its population slow down to a crawl. From the 1990 U.S. Census to the 2000 U.S. Census, Escambia County added 31,612 people. From 2000 to 2006, the county has only added 1,016 people, according to U.S. census estimates. We will have to one hell of a turnaround in the next three years to match the growth of the 1990s.

Escambia County
Total Population:

2006:295,426

2000: 294,410

1990: 262,798

Our large expensive county government that doesn’t have a charter and is divided into several constitutional offices isn’t working.
