Hamilton County, Florida
Hamilton County is a county located in the north central portion of the U.S. state of Florida. As of the 2020 census, the population was 14,004, down from 14,799 at the 2010 census. Its county seat is Jasper.
Hamilton County was created in 1827 from portions of Jefferson County. It was named for Alexander Hamilton, first United States Secretary of the Treasury.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 519 square miles (1,340 km2), of which 514 square miles (1,330 km2) is land and 5.3 square miles (14 km2) (1.0%) is water. It is the only county in Florida entirely north of Interstate 10.
Hamilton County is the only county in Florida that is not connected to Florida by land. This is due to it being separated from neighboring Florida counties by river (the Suwannee and the Withlacoochee rivers). It does, however, touch Georgia via land.
The main railroad line through Hamilton County is the Norfolk Southern Railway's Navair District (originally the Georgia Southern and Florida Railway), which runs mostly in close proximity to US 41 from Lake City across a bridge over the Suwannee River and the Columbia-Hamilton County Line southeast of White Plains to the Florida-Georgia State Line northwest of Jennings. A former section of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's DuPont—Lakeland Line survives as a rail trail in Jasper.
As of the 2020 census, the Hamilton County had a population of 14,004. There were 4,690 households and 3,072 families. The population density was 27.2 per square mile (10.5/km2). There were 5,596 housing units at an average density of 10.9 per square mile (4.2/km2).
The median age was 43.0 years; 19.1% of residents were under the age of 18, 7.0% were from 18 to 24, 26.4% were from 25 to 44, 28.6% were from 45 to 64, and 18.9% were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 136.2 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 143.2 males age 18 and over.
The racial makeup was 57.33% (8,028) white or European American (54.51% non-Hispanic white), 31.97% (4,477) black or African-American, 0.41% (58) Native American or Alaska Native, 0.31% (43) Asian, 0.0% (0) Pacific Islander or Native Hawaiian, 5.06% (709) from other races, and 4.92% (689) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race was 10.39% (1,455) of the population.
