Leon County

Leon County is part of the northwest region of Florida, along with Bay, Santa Rosa, Escambia, Walton, Holmes, Jackson, Washington, Okaloosa, Calhoun, Liberty, Gulf, Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, and Wakulla counties. Main industries for this area include advanced manufacturing, aviation, aerospace, defense, health sciences, renewable energy, and transportation. Florida's capital, Tallahassee, is a part of Leon County, and also acts as the county seat. The county has over 275,000 inhabitants.

Two of Florida's main Universities, Florida State University and Florida A&M University, are also a part of Leon County. As a result, Leon County has the highest average level of education among Florida's 67 counties. Leon County's regional economy remained stable throughout the recession as a result of a significant public sector presence. The unemployment rate has decreased and is below the state average at 8.1%. The housing market has not been as negatively affected in this county as in the rest of the state; the tax base loss is moderate and foreclosure rates equal the national average. The largest private sector employers are Tallahassee Memorial healthcare, Publix Supermarkets, Walmart, Capital Regional Medical Center, and ACS. Top public employers are the State of Florida, Florida State University, Leon County Schools, City of Tallahassee, and Florida A&M University.

Much of the economy is driven by the state government, especially the two universities. Both are major research universities; Florida State attracts over $200 million annually, while FAMU brings in at least $30 million each year. FSU operates the National High Magnetic Lab, the world?s most powerful and largest magnetic laboratory. In addition to offering numerous degree programs at all levels, both universities also run law and medical schools. FSU and FAMU are located in Tallahassee.
