How Many Residential Swimming Pools Actually Exist In Florida
By RITA KUEBER
According to Angi, Florida has the highest number of residential swimming pools in the US, a staggering 1.5 million. This translates to one pool for every
14 residents.
Miami (30.6%), Tampa (27.7%), and Orlando (25.9%) follow Phoenix as the US cities with the most pools. By comparison, it is estimated that just 8% of houses in the US have a pool.
In 2022, Florida constructed 13,382 in-ground and 3,219 above-ground pools. These numbers were the highest and second-highest in the country, respectively.
The popularity of pools in Florida is attributed to their year-round usability, their role as a hub for family fun, and the aesthetic enhancement they provide to
the landscape.
