Cape Coral: A Market on the Rise

Cape Coral is also home to the largest population of burrowing owls in Florida, a big draw for birders and photographers from around the world.

According to recent census data, Cape Coral, Florida’s population jumped by 16%, to more than 175,000 year-round residents. With an average of 266 days of sunshine a year, it’s no wonder Cape Coral continues to grow with rapid speed.

Forbes Magazine reports the Cape Coral MSA ranks No. 1 in the nation for recent job growth, noting that the arts, entertainment, recreation and construction industries are more than double the national average (July 2016). As the largest city in Southwest Florida, Moody’s Analytics consistently ranks the Cape Coral MSA in the top 10 U.S. areas for future job growth.

CEO’s from across the country point to Florida as the No. 2 best state in the nation for doing business, thanks in large part, to fewer restrictions and no state income tax (Chief Executive Magazine, 2016). The sunshine state is known for its pro-business tax policies, competitive cost of doing business and streamlined regulatory environment.
