THE POPULATION GROWTH
The population of the City of Boynton Beach grew rapidly, at the average annual rate of
6.3%, throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s. The growth rate decreased in the 1980’s and
1990’s, but remained at a fairly high level of 2.7% until the year 2000. During the last
ten years (2000-2010), the growth rate for the city slowed even more, to an average
annual rate of 1.23%. It is notable that the city is nearing buildout, but this deceleration
in growth is a trend in both the state and the Palm Beach County. Severe recession
combined with high unemployment and sharp downturn in the housing markets nationwide has stalled population influx to Florida.

The Palm Beach County population projections for the City have been adjusted
downwards in 2013 to reflect the results of the Census 2010 and new BEBR county-level
projections.

The impacts of the recession and housing crisis can also be linked to the changes in the
population growth components in Palm Beach County. The net domestic migration, a
leading component of growth between 2000 and 2004, turned negative between 2005 and
2007, while net international migration experienced only a small decline. While domestic
migration growth was again positive in the 2008 – 2009 period, international migration is
presently a primary source of population growth in the county.
II. DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILES: CITY AND ITS FOUR SUB-SECTORS 1
1. Racial and Ethnic Characteristics
The City has become slightly more racially and ethnically diverse since 1990, when the
share of Whites in the total population was nearly 78%: the 2010 Census shows this share
down at 62%. At the same time, the number of African Americans and Blacks increased
by 122%, more than twice as much as the total population; they now constitute over 30%
of all the City’s residents. This group includes a growing Boynton Beach Haitian
community. The 2000 Census reported 4,009 Haitians living in the City; although the
2010 Census data does not include information on the number of persons of Haitian
origin, the 2007-2011 American Community Survey estimates this number to be about
9,160.

Another strong ongoing trend is the increase of the Hispanic population. According to the
2010 Census, the number of Hispanics grew by 2,440 persons, and the share of this ethnic
group in the total population increased from 9.2% in 2000 to 12.8% in 2010.
The racial composition of each of the four sectors of the city (Northeast, Southeast,
Northwest and Southwest) is shown on the following page.

The Northwest sector has the highest concentration of Hispanics; Table 2 shows a
significant increase in the share of the Hispanic population in this sector between 2000
and 2010. No sector-level data is available on the current distribution of the Haitian
population, but the map at the end of this section shows a census-tract level distribution
(for tracts at least partially within Boynton Beach).
2. Median Age and Age Distribution
The median age for the City’s population remains at 41.9 years, essentially unchanged
from 41.8 registered by the 2000 Census. However, there have been significant changes
in age distribution, as shown in Table 3.

The share of persons over 65 in the total population continues to decrease, falling
from 25.8% in the year 2000 to 21.4% in 2010. The number of persons in this age
group dropped by 7% over the last ten years.
Given the above trend, the virtually unchanged 2010 median age of the city’s
residents is due mainly to a significant growth of the 45-to-64 age group. In the
meanwhile, the “under 18” category grew slower than the population as a whole.
The 34% growth of the 15-to-24 age cohort (and the associated increase of its share in
the total population) may potentially be explained by unemployed young adults
staying (or moving back) with their parents. A more detail breakdown shows a 41%
increase in the 20-to-24 group, supporting this assumption.
Table 4 shows significant differences in age distribution in the four sectors.

3. Household Composition
Over the last decade, the two main trends in a household composition in the City were a
shrinking percentage of married-couple families (especially those with children) and an
increasing share of one-person households..
5
•
•
The share of married-couple family households in all households fell from 45.4% to
39%. The share of those with own children under 18 decreased from 14.6% to 13%.
The share of one-person households rose from 33% to 34% (it was 30% in 1990).
About 46% of these householders are 65 or older.
Between 2000 and 2010, the average household size increased slightly, from 2.26 to 2.31
persons, possibly due to the recession-related doubling up of households. Table 5
contains the update on household information for each sector.

4. Education
Education of the population continues to improve. The overall percentage of population
25 years of age and over with an associate or higher degree increased from 28.5% in
2000 to 34.2% (based on the 2007-2011 American Community Surveys). Some 55% of
the City’s population age 25 or older has at least some education above high school, up
from 51% in 2000.

Boynton
Beach
Also, the American Community Survey’s 2009-2011 estimates show an improvement
over the 2000 figures in the educational attainment of the Boynton Beach population as
compared to that of three other largest municipalities in Palm Beach County and the
County as a whole. The lag declined but it remains significant in the “Bachelor’s Degree
or Higher” category with respect to both the County’s level overall and the level achieved
in the three comparison municipalities. Boca Raton continues to lead with a major higher
educational institution, Florida Atlantic University, within its borders.

5. Population Mobility and Foreign-Born Residents
The data in Table 7 demonstrates a high mobility of the City’s population, a
characteristic generally shared with population of the County, the state of Florida, and
7
also with the nation as a whole. Approximately 17.5% of persons at least one year old
relocated within County during the last year.

Some 25% of city residents are foreign-born, higher that 22% in the County as a whole;
approximately 43% are naturalized citizens. The percentage of naturalized citizens is an
approximate measure of assimilation. Increasing numbers of non-assimilated new
residents of the city, who are more likely not to speak fluent English, will have to be
accommodated by the educational and social service systems.
The two largest groups of foreign-born residents in the City are Hispanics and Haitians.
The total number of Hispanics, including both “foreign-born” persons and those born in
the U.S, is captured by the Census 2010, at 8,702 (see Table 1); the number of Haitians is
estimated by the American Community Survey 2007-2011 to be about 8,734.
Proficiency in English is an important factor in assimilation and the successful entry into
the job market. Table 9 indicates the ability to speak English by age:

Generally, the percentage of population with low proficiency in English (6.2%) was
comparable with that in the County as a whole (6.4%). However, among Spanish
speakers, more that one fifth speaks English “not well” or “not at all” and nearly 30% in
9
the County as a whole report low English proficiency. Those percentages are particularly
high in the 18- to 64 age group, a significant issue for people in the workforce.
A percentage of Haitians with a low command of English can only be estimated using
the American Community Survey’s “other Indo-European” language category, which
includes Creole. Approximately one-fifth of the 10,746 persons speaking a language
included in this category speaks English “not well” or “not at all,” which is comparable
with the Spanish-speaking group.

Generally, during the 2007-2011 period:
•
•
•
The Boynton Beach median household income continued to lag behind the
countywide median income and that of three other municipalities.
The City had a slightly higher percentage of households in which at least one
member collected Social Security income than both the County as a whole and all
other municipalities.
For households with earnings, Boynton Beach had the lowest mean earnings per
household. This figure could reflect the high percentage of semi-retired households
in which one or more members hold a part-time job.
The American Community Survey one-year estimates, though not as accurate as those
based on surveys over a five-year period, clearly show a recession-based decline in the
median household income in the city, from $48,892 in 2007 to $41,769 in 2011; mean
earnings also fell, from $64,030 to $57,953. However, one-year estimates also indicate
that both median household income and earnings inched up between 2010 and 2011.
10
Geography of household income distribution
For census tracks truncated by the City boundary, the American Community Survey no
longer provides two separate figures (for the part of the track within and the part outside
the City). Therefore, the map of household income distribution in 2006-2010 (see the end
of this section) shows all census tracts that are at least partly within the City.
For the same reason, the 2008 income estimates in Table 11 could not be revised. Still,
they remain a good approximation of the differences among the four City sectors.

SUMMARY OF SECTOR CHARACTERISTICS
The following section summarizes the basic socio-economic characteristics of the
population residing within each of the four sectors.
NORTHEAST SECTOR:
•
The sector has the second youngest population of all sectors (median age 36.4), and
the highest percentage of residents under 18 years of age (24.1%). It also has the
highest average household size (2.76) and the lowest percentage of one-person
households (30.5%).
•
The non-whites account for the highest share of population (approximately 67%)
among the four sectors. In 2000, the sector had the second highest concentration of
Haitians (9.2% of the population). It is also home to a sizeable Hispanic community:
12.6% of its residents are of Hispanic/Latino origin.
•
In 2008, the sector’s population had the lowest median household income
($37,678); about 31% of households had incomes below $25,000, and only 16.2%
had incomes of $75,000 or more. In 2010, the sector’s best faring census tract had a
median income of only $37,810; its two poorest ones had median incomes between
$29,000 and $30,000.
SOUTHEAST SECTOR
•
The two chief demographic characteristics of this sector are the high concentration
of the elderly (people 65 years of age and over comprise about 24.5% of all
residents) and the highest share of people living alone, who make up nearly 40% of
all households.
11
•
The population is 68% white and 28% Black/African American. Part of the latter
group is a large Haitian community – in 2000, Haitians constituted nearly 11% of
the sector’s residents, the highest percentage among all sectors. The share of
Hispanics in the sector’s population is 12.4%.
•
In 2008, the Southeast sector had the second lowest median household income of
$43,513; 26.1% of households had annual incomes of less than $25,000 and only
one-fifth incomes over $75,000. In 2010, its poorest census tract, 62.03, was also
the poorest in the City, with a median household income of $28,813.
NORTHWEST SECTOR
•
The Northwest is the sector of young families: it has the highest percentage of
married couples with children under 18 (17.5%), as compared with 13.0% for the
city as a whole. Its median age is 36.2, the lowest of all sectors.
•
The sector’s residents are predominantly white; of all sectors, it has the lowest
percentage (27%) of non-white persons (including is a sizeable Asian population of
882 people). The sector is home to the largest Hispanic community of 3,375
residents; Hispanics constitute 15.6% of the area’s population, up from 9.5% in
2000.
•
In 2008, the Northwest sector’s median household income ranked the highest at
$52,056. The sector had the lowest incidence of households with income below
$25,000 (17.8%), as well as the second highest number of households with income
surpassing $75,000 (25.6%). In 2010, three of the sector’s census tracts comprising
57% of its population had estimated median incomes between $55,000 and $63,000.
SOUTHWEST SECTOR
•
.
•
•
The Southwest sector has by far the oldest population in the city. Its median age is
52.9 as compared to 41.9 citywide; people aged 65 and over make up 36.5% of all
residents. The incidence of one-person household is the second highest at 35.7%,
and only 9.2% of all households are married couples with own children.
The Southwest sector has a low percentage (29%) of non-white persons. It has a
small Hispanic population; 35% of Hispanics reside in tract 60.10, where they
comprise about 15% of the population.
In 2008, the sector had a second highest median household income at $46,906, and
the highest percentage of households with incomes over $75,000 (26.2%). In 2010,
two of the sector’s census tracts wholly contained within the City’s boundary had a
median income at about $59,000. These tracts, 60.10 and 66.03, represented 41% of
the sector’s population.

The chart and Table 1 above provide information on the City’s housing stock in terms of
type of structures and tenure choices (owning or renting). The 2010 tenure data reflects
changes brought by a collapse of the housing market. First, there has been a very
significant increase in renter-occupied dwellings, in absolute and especially relative
terms. More than one-third of all units are now rented. Secondly, there has also been a
sharp increase in the overall number of vacant units, from 4,433 in 2000 to 7,185 in 2010.

Approximately 51% of the City’s residential stock was built in the period of 1970-1989,
and about 8% prior to 1960.
C. Sectoral differences
As expected (see Table 2 below), the housing stock located within the eastern sectors is
much older than housing located west of Interstate 95. Both eastern sectors have a
substantial number of older condominiums. The table also shows a reduction in the 2010
share of owner-occupied units in all sectors as compared to the year 2000. The shift from
the owner to renter occupancy has been particularly noteworthy in the south east sector.

2. Trends in New Construction
A. Residential approvals
In 2005, the peak of the residential boom, the City approved a total of 2,981 housing
units (as part of site-planned projects and rezonings with a master plan). The number of
approvals dwindled to 669 in 2006, 254 in 2007 and 47 in 2008; there were no residential
approvals in 2009 and 2010 and only six units were approved in 2011. The 456
multifamily units approved in 2012 replaced previously approved and expired projects.
2
B. Decline in residential permit activity in response to market downturn
Between 2004 and 2008, Boynton Beach permitted 421 single family (detached) units
and 3,369 multifamily units. The activity was particularly high in 2004 and 2005,
followed by a sharp decline in permit numbers starting in 2006, when the level of the
residential permit activity dropped by 65%. In 2009, the drop was even more dramatic
(93%); only 9 permits were issued in 2010. The rebound of housing, reflected by the
increasingly higher number of permits issued in 2011, 2012, and during the first five
months of 2013, is driven mainly by the high demand for rental units.

Note: The November 2012 figures must be regarded with caution, as monthly data may show significant volatility.
Since publication of the last issue of The Development Atlas in March of 2009, the
residential values in Palm Beach County had continued to drop. By 2011, a year experts
agree prices in South Florida hit bottom, median price for all units sold in the County was
3
down roughly 56% from its 2007 peak of $287,000. The trend reversed in 2012; as Table
3 indicates, prices went up significantly in 2012 for all types of dwellings.

As shown in Table 4 above, between 2000 and 2007 the share of residential taxable value
in the total value grew from 68.3% to 75%, and then declined every year to reach 67% in
2012. Since 2007, the taxable value decreased by 48%. (Note that the drop in residential
taxable value in 2008 was partly due to the legislative changes allowing for an additional
homestead exemption.) The preliminary estimate of the City’s total taxable value for
2013 signals the possible reversal of this trend: the total value increased by 5.5%.

The chart and Table 5 above demonstrate the trends in value of new construction. The
value of residential construction surged in 2005 and peaked in 2007 at $306,235,582
when its share reached 90% of total new construction. During the following three years,
residential construction plummeted to $7.6 million, reaching its lowest level in a decade.
Note that the high 2011 numbers reflect completion of the Promenade project, which
constituted 93% of the total value of new residential construction. The 2013 estimate of
new construction (completed by the end of 2012) is $69 million, which reflects the 2011
surge in permit activity.

The chart above demonstrates citywide price trends for existing homes from 2004 to
2012. The median 2012 sale prices of existing single-family homes, townhomes and
condominiums were between 65%, 48% and 70%, respectively, off the peak prices
reached in 2005 or 2006. For single-family homes, the median price dropped from
$280,000 to $98,000; for townhomes, from $223,000 to $115,000; and for
condominiums, the price decreased from $185,000 to $55,000.
The chart shows that median prices stabilized in 2012, or at least – in case of singlefamily homes, decreased only slightly. Also, the number of closed sales increased 11%
year-over-year (as compared to 3.6% countywide). Some 18.2% of the sales were lendermediated (which include foreclosures and short sales), slightly lower that 18.9% for the
county as a whole. Table 6 on the following page shows changes in sales and median
price of single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums by sector since 2004.

Note: For numbers 1-6, indicated densities are maximum densities under respective current land use
designations (with the exception of the FPL property – see comment on the following page). For 7-10, the
number of units is as previously approved.
Since 2008 there have been no changes in the inventory of vacant residential parcels of 2
or more acres.
8
The following list provides a brief overview of properties listed in Table 7:
•
Property #1, surrounding the High Ridge Country Club (west of High Ridge Road
and north of Miner Road), is designated Low Density Residential (LDR).
•
Property #2, a Quantum Park outparcel located between Gateway Boulevard and
Miner Road, west of High Ridge Road, and south of a 30-acre county-owned
enclave. The county parcel has an industrial land use classification; the parcel
within the City has an industrial land use classification, a residential single-family
zoning designation and a Conservation Overlay (the parcels contain one of the
largest remaining “A”-classified scrub sites in the City; therefore, any developer
of the property would be required to set aside or preserve at least 25% of the
environmentally sensitive lands). These considerations will have to be balanced
out in any future development scenarios. Although a significant percentage of
Quantum Park has been developed as a mixture of uses with a large residential
component, the city economic development efforts to preserve and expand
industrial acreage may ultimately prevail and lead to industrial zoning designation
on this property as well as the county enclave when annexed.
.
•
Property #3 is an undeveloped parcel in the Palmland Villas development. The
vacant 3.7- acre site could be developed utilizing the remaining unused density
from the 60-unit development.
•
Property #4 is an undeveloped parcel south of Boynton Beach Boulevard and west
of SW 8th Street. The property, classified Moderate Density Residential (MoDR),
was originally earmarked for recreation development. Depending on the
recreational needs of the area being satisfied by existing parks, it could be
developed for residential use.
•
In the same general area of the City, the FPL parcel (#5) is adjacent to Old
Boynton Road, north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. The parcel’s future land use
classification is split between High Density Residential (HDR) and Local Retail
Commercial (LRC). Ultimately, the property will require land use reclassification,
most likely to Low Density Residential (LDR).
•
Property #6, located west of Seacrest Boulevard and north of Boynton Canal, is
classified Moderate Density Residential (MODR).
•
Property #7 is located at the southwest corner of Ocean Avenue and Federal
Highway. Originally approved in 2004 for a project known as The Arches. The
project was modified in 2005 and approved under the new name of “500 Ocean
Plaza” for a mixed use of 378 condominiums and 40,596 square feet of retail in
2005. The site plan expired in 2009. The property changed hands in 2011; a recent
surge of the demand for rental units is likely to bring it back to the market.
9
•
Property #8, located on the east side of Federal Highway, north of Gateway
Boulevard, was approved in 2006 for 23 townhouse project under the name
“Harbor Cay”. The site plan expired in 2008.
•
Property #9 is located within the Meadows 300 Planned Unit Development, north
of Meadows Boulevard and west of Congress Avenue. It was approved for 34
townhomes in 2007; the site plan expired in 2009.
•
Property #10, located on the west side of Federal Highway south of Old Dixie
Highway, was approved for 40 townhomes as the “Baywalk” project in 2006. The
site plan expired in 2010.
A number of other site plans approved for residential projects in recent years are the
subject of legislatively enabled time extensions which will expire in the near future. Such
extension provisions were enacted in recognition of the prolonged recession and difficult
market conditions. As housing prices begin to rise and the economy continues to
improve, the prospects for these projects to be developed is becoming more realistic.

LOCATION ADVANTAGES
Boynton Beach, the third largest city in Palm Beach County, has a number of significant
location advantages which contribute significantly to its overall economic potential.
•
•
The city, encompassing roughly 16.5 square miles, is located approximately 45
miles north of Miami and 15 miles south of West Palm Beach. This puts it in the
heart of southeast Florida’s tri-county Dade/Broward/Palm Beach metropolitan
areas.
The city has direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, both Interstate 95 and the
Florida Turnpike, and one of only four ocean inlets existing along 47 miles of
shoreline within Palm Beach County. It also has a market of over 6.5 million
people within a 100 mile radius of the city and ready access to three international
airports, three major seaports, two major rail lines as well as the Tri-Rail
commuter rail system.
These advantages will continue to benefit Boynton Beach, its residents and businesses as
the city is rebounding from a major national recession. The metro area of Palm Beach
County, long recognized as one of the leading metropolitan divisions in the U.S. in terms
of job growth, has been severely affected. Employment in residential and commercial
construction, as well as in manufacturing and financial activities, and trade and utilities
sector, suffered significant losses. The unemployment rate for the county reached 12% in
July 2010; it has since fallen to 6.8% (the April 2013 preliminary estimate).

The data indicates that:
•
As Table 1 and the chart above show, Boynton Beach still has by far the highest
share of industrial properties in its total taxable value, 9.8%, up from 7.0% in
2008, and the second highest overall share – after West Palm Beach - in all
commercial properties (including industrial), at 31.3%.
•
Since 2008, the share of the value of residential real estate in total taxable real
estate property value decreased in the County and in all but one municipality
(Boca Raton) where it increased from 73.5% to 74.4%.
2. The City’s Real Property Tax Base
A. Trends in Taxable Value
Even though the impact of the ongoing real estate recession on the growth of the taxable
value is tempered by the way the Florida Save Our Homes program determines annual
assessments of homesteaded residential properties (they increase with inflation, for a
maximum of 3%), Table 2 shows a remarkable reversal of trends in growth of the City’s
real property taxable value. The decline of the residential value between 2008 and 2012
was almost 38.5%, followed by nearly 30% drop in commercial value; the industrial
sector fared best.

B. The Property Tax Distribution
There were 30,251 residential properties (excluding apartments) listed on the Boynton
Beach 2012 tax roll. Table 3 shows changes in the property tax distribution in terms of
numbers and percentages of properties that either pay no taxes or pay very little.

The two main causes of the sharp increase in the number of such properties were the
decrease in property values and the enactment in 2008 of the constitutional amendment
allowing for an additional $25,000 homestead exemption. The exemption had a strong
impact on single-family homes, 77% of which are homesteaded, as opposed to only 47%
of condominiums.
C. Principal Taxpayers
The ten principal taxpayers within the city pay 47% of all property taxes, up from 30% in
2008, as shown in the table below.

III. NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS
1. Palm Beach County Commercial Markets Overview
To give the context for the review of new commercial approvals for the city, Table 5 on
the following page offers a comparative look at commercial submarkets, which cover
four of the largest Palm Beach County municipalities. As shown, Boynton Beach
submarkets share of the total county market ranges from 14.2% of the retail market and
9.2% of the industrial market, to only 1.9% of the office market. (Note that the retail
submarket includes Lantana.)
None of the four submarkets had retail or office projects under construction during the
first quarter of 2013; West Palm Beach had new industrial development under
construction.
Reports from the commercial real estate firm CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) confirm that,
consistently with a gradual improvement in the Palm Beach County unemployment rate
and active residential sector, the County commercial markets continue a gradual
recovery.

* Boynton Beach submarket boundaries: north – Lake Worth city limits; south – Delray Beach city limits; west –441
* For Retail, the Boynton Beach submarket includes Lantana.
The County retail market is improving, supported by progress in employment and
tourism as well as climbing home sales and values. The retail market posted 281,765
square feet of positive absorption in the first quarter of 2013. Note that, since CBRE
retail reports do not cover malls, Table 6 omits construction of the 900,000 square foot
outlet mall underway in West Palm Beach. The CBRE short-term forecast predicts the
year-over-year growth in core retail sales (without auto and gas sales) to stay within the
3% to 4% range, and the demand for space to continue at a slower pace as compared to
previous recoveries. A noteworthy trend is that of smaller footprint stores of companies
such as Walmart, Best Buy, Kohl’s, Staples, Target and Office Depot, the response to
competition from internet sellers, rising costs and the weak economy.
5
The vacancy rate for the County office market is improving. It is 2.7 percentage points
lower than total vacancy in the first quarter of 2012 and below 25% for the first time
since first quarter of 2009, reflecting an increase in the job growth. Year-over-year, the
overall average asking lease rates for office space increased 1.3%. No new projects
30,000 square feet or greater have been developed during the past several quarters. The
CBRE analysts’ short-term outlook for the office market is favorable based on the
continued job growth in 2013.
The industrial market also continues to recover. The demand during the first quarter of
2013 resulted in over 166,000 square feet of positive absorption, while the market total
vacancy rate decreased 1.5 percentage points, and asking lease rates increased 1.1
percentage points. Flex properties experienced the largest year-over-year 11.5% increase
of leasing rates. New development has been driven mostly by build-to-suit projects from
tenants looking for opportunities with specifications not readily available in the market.
The CBRE analysts anticipate that scarcity and high pricing of industrial-zoned land in
Miami-Dade and Broward counties will likely start to push demand north to Palm Beach
County.
2. Commercial Approvals
As the charts in this section demonstrate, the recession –high unemployment, the lack of
demand, the unavailability of financing - has had a strong negative impact on the
commercial and industrial sectors in the city. With the exception of a new 93,755 square
foot Walmart in 2010, there have been no new retail project approvals since 2007. Office
approvals, which averaged about 87,000 square feet during the 2000-2006 period, have
been flat, averaging about 9,000 square feet since.

The permit value chart above includes all non-residential projects. The three highest in
value include a new Walmart store (2011), the Imagine Charter School (2009) and the
reconstruction of a Publix store (2011). After two years of low activity, annual permit
value is rebounding, reflecting the improving economy.
IV. VACANT LAND
There currently remain approximately 75 acres of vacant land with commercial/mixeduse classifications and 26 acres of vacant land with industrial classifications (about 7%
and 7.5% of the total acreage corresponding to each of these land use categories).

Note: Vacant commercial inventory includes parcels with a mixed use future land use designations. Vacant
industrial inventory includes 23.3 acre parcel adjacent to the Quantum Industrial Park with the Industrial land
use but with the single-family residential zoning.
Most of vacant parcels are small and unfeasible for larger scale projects: only 17 out of
102 vacant commercial/mixed use and 11 out of 24 vacant industrial properties are 1 acre
or over in size; and only 10 and 6 parcels, respectively, are 2 or more acres.

V. BOYNTON’S INDUSTRY AND LABOR FORCE PROFILES
1. The Industry Profiles
A. Employment trends in Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County was for a number of years recognized as one of the leading areas in
the U.S. with respect to job growth. In August 2006 the unemployment rate was 2.8% (as
compared to 3.1% for a State of Florida). Mid-2006 was the peak of the housing boom in
the County; subsequently, the construction sector began to shed jobs.

Percentage-wise, job losses between 2006 and 2012 were the highest for the construction
industry, followed by manufacturing, information and financial activities. In terms of
numbers, the construction sector was by far the most affected, with 25.5 thousand jobs
lost.
Between 2009 and 2012, the County’s private sector experienced a 3.8% job growth; a
majority of industries added jobs, but construction, manufacturing and information
continued their losses.
The job losses were reflected in the rapidly rising unemployment rates that only recently
began to drop.

B. Boynton Beach Business Profile
This section presents the establishment-based employment by industry using the 2011
estimates furnished by Nielsen-Claritas, Inc. The data comes from businesses and other
establishments located within the City’s limits, showing industry profile of jobs in
Boynton Beach. The residence-based employment data, which provides information on
jobs held by Boynton Beach residents, is provided by the American Community Survey
(see Appendix D).
The comparison of 2007 and 2011 employment estimates for Boynton Beach provided by
Nielsen Claritas Inc. indicates a disappearance of 215 businesses, and a loss of nearly
10.5 thousand jobs over this four-year period. In 2007, 90% of all businesses employed
fewer than 20 people and the average business employed about 11; in 2011, 92.7% had
fewer that 20 employees and the average number was slightly over eight. Boynton Beach
is a city of small business.
As demonstrated by Table 9 on the following page, the industry with by far the highest
share of the total employment in 2011 was retail trade, at almost 27%. The health
services were next at 11.4%, followed by the finance, insurance and real estate group at
8.6%.

By and large, the Boynton Beach workforce occupational profile mirrors that of Palm
Beach County as a whole. About 30% of the employed city residents hold higher wage
management and professional occupations, lower than the county’s overall 35%. Some
54% are employed in service, sales and office jobs, compared to 49% of those residing
anywhere in the county. A comparable percentage of workers in the City and the County
are self-employed in their own (not incorporated) businesses – 6% and 5.7%,
respectively.
Median earnings for workers 16 age and over during the 2009-2011 time period were
$29,152, $27,375, $27,009 and $33,296 for Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, West Palm
Beach and Boca Raton, respectively. The median earnings were $28,870 for the County
as a whole.
B. Commuting to Work
The American Community Survey 2009-2011 data indicates that about 81.2% of the City
residents drove alone to their place of employment; only about 2.1% used public
transportation while 0.8% walked. The average travel time to work was about 22 minutes.
Public transportation, Tri-Rail and the Palm Tran bus system, could certainly be used by
more commuters, but the location, schedules and other issues cannot offset the
convenience of the proximity of the Interstate 95, which provides good access to
employment centers throughout the tri-county area.

* The census tract geography underwent changes in 2010. The new Census 2010 tract numbers
are noted alongside the 2000 ones. In four cases (tracts 56.01 and 57.01 and also 61.00 and 62.01)
tract boundary adjustment necessitated aggregation so that the overall 2000-2010 population
change for the area could be calculated.

* The census tract geography underwent changes in 2010. The new Census 2010 tract numbers
are noted alongside the 2000 ones. In two cases (tracts 56.01 and 57.01 and also 61.00 and 62.01)
tract boundary adjustment necessitated aggregation so that the overall 2000-2010 change in number
of housing units for the area could be calculated.

* The census tract geography underwent changes in 2010. The new Census 2010 tract numbers are noted alongside the 2000 ones. In two cases
(tracts 56.01 and 57.01 and also 61.00 and 62.01), tract boundary adjustement necessitated aggregation so that the overall 2000-2010 changes for the
area could be calculated.

Note: The 2008 Claritas data is provided here due to the fact that the ACS no longer provides separate data for portions of tracts within the City
of Boynton Beach. This is the most recent value data available for ALL tracts, including those only partially within the City boundaries.
See Table 6A to see 2007-2011 pooled values; data for census tracts which do not coincide within the city boundaries apply for the entire tract area.
