Demographics

Key West, as one of Florida’s leading tourist destinations, has a community that is a diverse mix of people with varied careers, occupations and cultural backgrounds. From the “Conchs”—a term Key West residents use to self-identify as Bahamian immigrants and their descendents or Key West natives—to the “Freshwater Conchs”, residents who aren’t native to Key West but who have lived here for more than seven years, Key West attracts a wide variety of people to join its community, to run away to paradise and settle on its sandy shores. Retirees, tourists, people starting their careers or starting second careers, those who identify with the island and call it home, and those looking for inspiration and re-invention: Key West calls them to the southernmost point of the continental United States. Everyone is welcome; no one is left out in Key West.

Crime statistics, arrest statistics, and other criminally related statistics for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, the City of Key West, and all counties and municipalities in the State of Florida, are accessible through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement web site:
