SPRING HILL INFORMATION IN FLORIDA (Fla.)Spring Hill is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hernando County, Florida, United States. The population was 69,078 at the 2000 census, and was estimated to be 85,894 in 2005 by the American Community Survey.
Although Spring Hill was founded in 1962 as a planned community that was built by the Deltona Corporation of Florida, it appeared on maps of Florida as early as 1856. Spring Hill has since become a sprawling semi-city in its own right, though still an unincorporated area. The main entrance to the original development is marked by the Spring Hill waterfall. Local attractions include the Nature Coast Botanical Gardens, many parks, Weeki Wachee Springs, and access to Hernando Beach to the west, Brooksville, Florida to the east, and Tampa to the south via the Suncoast Parkway, US 41, and I-75.
A sizable shopping center has been built in recent years at the intersection of Florida State Road 50 (SR-50) and Mariner Boulevard, which includes chains such as Sears, Belk, Marshalls, Linens 'n Things, Circuit City, and Panera Bread. Spring Hill also has two of Hernando County's three Wal-Mart SuperCenters--one at SR-50 and Mariner Boulevard, the other at US 19 and Spring Hill Drive. A proposed fourth SuperCenter, at Barclay Road and Spring Hill Drive, along with the country's largest Wal-Mart distribution center (at 1,600,000 square feet) in Ridge Manor would make Hernando County the home of one of the highest concentrations of Wal-Mart establishments in Florida.
This fact (and the location of the site adjacent to a school, gated community, planned site for a SuperTarget, and major intersection) has led Spring Hill--and, indeed, Hernando County residents in general--to lodge a protest with the Hernando County Commission, who unanimously rejected it, claiming it to be too red.
As of the census of 2000, there were 69,078 people, 28,274 households, and 21,035 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 502.0/km˛ (1,300.1/mi˛). There were 30,658 housing units at an average density of 222.8/km˛ (577.0/mi˛). The racial makeup of the CDP was 93.50% White, 3.00% African American, 0.24% Native American, 0.77% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 1.22% from other races, and 1.24% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 6.83% of the population.
There were 28,274 households out of which 23.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 62.2% were married couples living together, 9.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 25.6% were non-families. 21.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 13.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.39 and the average family size was 2.74.
