The other ledger for Florida: 85% of its dams have no condition assessment on record, Orlando ties for the worst affordable-housing ratio in big-metro America (13 homes per 100 lowest-income households), Miami drivers lose 75 hours a year to congestion, and wastewater systems need $90.5 billion by 2040. And the bridges, at 3% poor, reported exactly as measured. Every figure is sourced, dated, and labeled — counted, modeled, or assessed.
How to read this page: the class chip on every measure is the honesty label. Counted = an inspection or enumeration record. Modeled = a study's projection or risk score — printed with the modeler's name. Assessed = a structured survey of required investment — needs as documented, not measurements of decay. Figures keep the form their source gave them; years are printed on every measure.
Click any category to expand it — every measure with its figure, what it means in plain language, and its source.
Dams. The 85%-unassessed and 18%-with-an-action-plan figures are ASCE Florida's 2025 report-card findings, printed with their year. The 98 high-hazard count is ASCE's as summarized in release coverage and is flagged in the data; the live National Inventory currently lists 94 — the small gap is inventory timing, disclosed on the measure rather than silently resolved.
Housing. NLIHC's Gap (2026 edition, built on Census ACS data) counts only homes both affordable and available at each income band. Statewide total-shortage estimates from university housing centers use wider definitions and are deliberately not mixed into these rows.
Hospitals. Florida's rural-hospital story is service loss more than closure: the Sheps Center count is 8 closures/conversions since 2005, while Chartis finds Florida worst in the nation for obstetric-service loss (57%). Chartis publishes no Florida vulnerable-to-closure count in its 2025 state summary; none is printed.
Food. The food-insecurity figures are Feeding America's Map the Meal Gap 2026 (2024 data). No current statewide USDA Atlas resident count could be verified for Florida, so — as on the South Carolina page — no tract-level food-desert figure is printed rather than an old one dressed up as current.
Power. The statewide peak-growth figure is the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council's own 2026 plan, filed with the PSC. The 8 GW large-load figure is FPL's parent company's forecast, reported from its earnings call and flagged in the data — a utility forecast is printed as a forecast, never as a measurement.
Traffic. INRIX hours are metro figures (Miami); no honest statewide congestion total is published for Florida, and none is printed. Both published years (2024: 74 hours; 2025: 75 hours) are shown because the direction matters.
