Why did people move from Escambia to Santa Rosa?

Rick Outzen March 20, 2011

Louis Cooper at the daily wants to know. Santa Rosa’s total population is 151,372, according to the 2010 census. In 2000, Santa Rosa’s population was 117,743—a growth rate of nearly 29 percent. Escambia County only grew 1 percent –from 294,410 to 297,619.

Any one want to guess what will be the number one reason?
