Living in Christmas, Florida

Small place: Census estimates for places under 5,000 people have wide margins of error. Treat these figures as rough.

Unincorporated: there's no city government; Orange County provides roads, zoning and law enforcement.

Nearest 24-hour emergency room

Parrish Medical Center, in Titusville, about 10 miles away.²

Straight-line distance from the town's center; driving is longer. Freestanding ERs and urgent care aren't counted.

Life in Central Florida

Inland Florida's big middle: metro Orlando, the theme parks, and fast-growing suburbs stretching west to Lakeland and north to Sanford, with lakes everywhere you look.^4,5

Hazards: Hurricanes still reach inland: Charley crossed right over Orlando in August 2004 with sustained winds near 85 mph and gusts of 106 mph at the airport, tearing roofs from three terminals and toppling Winter Park's old oaks onto power lines and cars.^4,6,7
