Well let's see. I live here in Orlando, and have been here since 1979. The
population of people who live here is far less than Miami. Studio
aparments are about 5-600.00 a month on the average but it does matter
what part of town you live in. The closer you get to UCF, and Disney, the
higher the costs.

Our poopulation is promarily mixed, not alot of any type really. There are
areas where there are more of one culture than another but as a town we're
pretty mixed. In Apopka, we have alot of Mexicans, in Pine Hills and
downtown Orlando, there are alot of blakcs, and the suburbs have alot of
whites.

No everyone doesn't work for Disney <G> I think everyone has tried to work
for Disney atleast once, (I haven't) Most of the general population works
a regular job i.e. comptuer, food, management.

Yes we have a lot of tourist but there are areas you can go to to get away
from them. For instance I live in North Orlando, and there aren't too many
tourist here.

I think I answered all your questions, hopefully. <G> If you want more
info let me know. Ill help as best I can.
