Pensacola is a larger medium-sized coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of 53,724 people and 69 associated neighborhoods, Pensacola is the 65th largest community in Florida.

Of important note, Pensacola is also a city of artists. Pensacola has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Pensacola’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.15% 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.

Another interesting thing about Pensacola, despite not being a huge city, is that there is a relatively high proportion of people living here who are young, single, and upwardly-mobile professionals.

Here, these young singles will find many others like themselves, with opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

Pensacola is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
