Polk County , Florida 's citrus capital, produces more boxes of citrus than any other county in the state.

Last year , almost 30,000 people moved to the county than to any other in the U.S. Bulldozed citrus groves in recent years made way for housing and big box stores.

Polk County’s Hispanic population has grown from one-fifth to more than one-quarter of the overall population.

Still, Crouch said he has noticed the exurbs keep getting pushed further north as breakneck growth makes affordable housing out of reach in neighborhoods once considered on the fringes of the metro area. “The next exurb we are going to be living in is Oklahoma ,” he joked. ___ Follow Mike Schneider on the social platform X: @MikeSchneiderAP.
