Cape Coral is a relatively large coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of 216,992 people and 43 associated neighborhoods, Cape Coral is the ninth largest community in Florida.

Also of interest is that Cape Coral has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.06% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One of the nice things about Cape Coral is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

The education level of Cape Coral citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 24.64% of adults in Cape Coral have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Cape Coral in 2018 was $37,621, which is middle income relative to Florida, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $150,484 for a family of four. However, Cape Coral contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Cape Coral is an extremely ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Cape Coral home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Cape Coral residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Cape Coral also has a sizeable Hispanic population (people of Hispanic origin can be of any race). People of Hispanic or Latino origin account for 23.97% of the city’s residents.
