I just played with Google and here are the results:
Florida measures 65,755 square miles, of which 18% is water.
SWAG - There are approximately 1,300,000 alligators (and 1,500 crocodiles)in Florida.
- Interestingly, there are about 2,000,000 in Louisiana !
That works out to about 20 alligators per square mile (Florida). Yikes !
So I would not bother trying to find somewhere in Florida where you can get away from alligators cuz it just ain't gonna happen.
