The county's population has increased by nearly 12 percent since 2000, a report from the University of Florida said.
The Bureau of Economic and Business Research at UF estimates the total population of Citrus increased from 118,085 in the 2000 census to 132,635 in April 2005. More than 121,000 of those residents live in unincorporated areas of the county. The others live in Crystal River or Inverness.
Gary Maidhof, county director of development services, said most of the growth has occurred in the Central Ridge area. County planners have tried to encourage development in that area.
