From the JBJ:

Population growth in Florida has slowed down, but is still moving at a rapid pace, especially in Jacksonville.
  After four years of adding about 400,000 residents a year, the state's population grew by about 331,000 from April 2006 to April 2007, said Stan Smith, director of the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research. His group released a study showing the state had 18.68 million residents on April 1, an increase of 2.7 million, or 17 percent, since April 2000.

Let's see, if current trends keep on the up and up, Jacksonville itsself will have a million people between 2015 and 2020. Hell yeah! Either way, Duval County is going to bust 1 million in the next 15 years.

Let's just hope the million comes within a more compact community as opposed to swallowing up most of the remaining undeveloped land in the county.
