Do you believe the Population Statistics?

I might have missed one, but SoWal zip codes are 32459, 32461, 32413 and 32550. The 32550 is Sandestin area and that is one of the ways you can be sure it is not a Destin, Okaloosa location as Destin is 32551, or it was last I looked.

I entered 32459 in the box and then on the new screen for Santa Rosa Beach you have the choice to click on Walton County as a whole. There was a lot of interesting data there. It even answers SWGB's morbidity and mortality question....

By casual observation I noticed more Asians and Europeans this year than I remember meeting ever before in this area.

They've been around for a while now if you know where to look. Last couple years, you hear a lot of languages other than English spoken when you walk around the outlet mall.

...mostly from 3rd World country labor they ship in to take the clerks jobs they can't fill?

Now what would be the benefit of that? Young people in the area are having a tough time finding jobs who speak English.

The clerk's wages don't justify the time and expense it takes to commute to the Destin/Sandestin outlet malls from the "affordable" living areas (Freeport/FWB/PCB).

The Real Estate Money-Grab turned all the affordable apartments, homes and yes, trailer parks, into overpriced Vinyl Villages and Stucco Cities thereby forcing the service workforce population further afield. The crowded, dangerous Hwy 98 made the commute a nightmare and $3.50-$4.00 per gallon gas was the final nail in the coffin.

I found this data. http://www.city-data.com/county/Walton_County_FL.html

I think you need to post the zip code 32459 in the dialogue box and then maybe click on Walton.

Can anyone educate me on how to properly link http to Sowal.

Generally if you have to input variables first then the output page is real time and can't be linked to as the link doesn't include the variables. Hope that helped.

Different age bracket. The Czech waitresses, Brazilian lifeguards, Polish maitenance men, and Serbian grocery clerks are typically college kids spending a summer or two in America to improve language skills and earn money to pay for school expenses back home.

The outlet mall foreign language group skews more to families- lots parents and their school age kids as well as occasional grandparents.
