Why St. Lucie businesses work with us
Not a generic Florida-wide package — built around this specific market.

The St. Lucie Economy, In Real Numbers
St. Lucie County's economy runs on healthcare, retail, tourism, agriculture, and a growing manufacturing and logistics base. Tourism alone employs more than 10,000 people, while manufacturing employs over 5,000 and generates more than $500 million in annual revenue. Major manufacturing and industrial employers include JELD-WEN, Spears Manufacturing, Amway, and Liberty Tire Recycling, reflecting Port St. Lucie's growing industrial footprint well beyond its reputation as a residential suburb. Logistics is a significant and expanding piece of the picture too, with the Walmart distribution center in Fort Pierce, Southern Eagle Distributing, an Amazon facility, and a CVS Distribution Center all anchoring the sector and adding warehouse and transportation jobs.
Healthcare has added significant capacity recently: Cleveland Clinic Martin Health and HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital are among the county's largest healthcare employers, and the new Florida Coast Medical Center has added hundreds of jobs to the local economy since opening. The Port of Fort Pierce serves as a genuine hub for international trade, giving the county a maritime commerce dimension that many similarly-sized Florida counties lack entirely.
Population growth has been exceptionally strong: St. Lucie County's population reached 402,449 as of July 2025, up from 329,226 in 2020 — an increase of more than 73,000 residents, or 22.2%, in just over five years. The county added an estimated 10,857 residents between mid-2024 and mid-2025 alone, with 9,861 from domestic migration and 1,353 from international migration. Port St. Lucie accounted for roughly 84% of that county-wide growth, adding 9,131 residents to reach an estimated population of 268,062. For comparison, neighboring Palm Beach County has grown at roughly a quarter of St. Lucie's rate since 2020, underscoring just how fast this market is changing.
What This Means If You're Marketing a St. Lucie Business
St. Lucie County's 22.2% population growth since 2020 — nearly four times the rate of neighboring Palm Beach County — means the local customer base is being reshaped faster than most nearby markets. With Port St. Lucie absorbing 84% of that growth, a business physically located there or targeting that specific city is dealing with an especially fast-moving, new-mover-heavy audience, while businesses in Fort Pierce or unincorporated areas face a somewhat more established customer base with different expectations. Either way, the sheer scale of in-migration — over 73,000 new residents in five years — means local search visibility and review generation matter enormously, since so many potential customers are choosing local providers for the first time rather than switching from an established one they've used for years.
The addition of the Florida Coast Medical Center and the ongoing strength of Cleveland Clinic Martin Health and HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital point to real, growing demand for healthcare-adjacent services, from specialty clinics to elder care, in a county whose age and family composition are shifting rapidly alongside the population boom. Meanwhile, the manufacturing and logistics base — JELD-WEN, Spears Manufacturing, Amazon, the Walmart and CVS distribution centers, and the Port of Fort Pierce's international trade activity — represents a genuine B2B market for industrial services, staffing, and commercial real estate that's easy to overlook next to the county's high-profile population growth story, but is arguably far less competitive to market into than the crowded consumer categories.
St. Lucie Marketing Questions We Get Asked
How fast is St. Lucie County growing?
Very fast — the population reached 402,449 by July 2025, up 22.2% from 329,226 in 2020. The county added an estimated 10,857 residents in just the most recent year alone, with the vast majority coming from domestic migration rather than international arrivals.
How much of St. Lucie County's growth is happening in Port St. Lucie specifically?
Port St. Lucie accounted for approximately 84% of the county's population increase between mid-2024 and mid-2025, adding 9,131 residents to reach an estimated 268,062 — meaning growth-focused marketing should concentrate heavily on that city rather than spreading evenly across the county.
What are the largest employment sectors in St. Lucie County?
Tourism employs more than 10,000 people, manufacturing employs over 5,000 and generates more than $500 million in annual revenue, and healthcare has expanded significantly with the addition of the Florida Coast Medical Center alongside Cleveland Clinic Martin Health and HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital.
Is there a real manufacturing sector in St. Lucie County?
Yes — major manufacturing and industrial employers include JELD-WEN, Spears Manufacturing, Amway, and Liberty Tire Recycling, generating over $500 million in annual revenue and employing more than 5,000 people, a B2B audience distinct from the county's more visible tourism and healthcare sectors.
What role does the Port of Fort Pierce play in the local economy?
It serves as a significant hub for international trade, giving St. Lucie County a maritime commerce dimension that supports logistics, shipping, and related B2B services beyond what a typical inland Florida county of similar size would have access to.
How does St. Lucie County's growth compare to Palm Beach County?
St. Lucie has grown at roughly four times the rate of Palm Beach County since 2020 — 22.2% versus about 5.6% — meaning the competitive and demographic dynamics here are shifting much faster than in the larger, more established neighboring county.
Are logistics and distribution companies a growing employer category in St. Lucie County?
Yes. The Walmart distribution center in Fort Pierce, an Amazon facility, the CVS Distribution Center, and Southern Eagle Distributing are all major logistics employers, reflecting the county's growing role as a distribution point along Florida's Treasure Coast corridor.
What does the new Florida Coast Medical Center mean for local marketing?
It's added hundreds of jobs and expanded healthcare capacity in a rapidly growing county, signaling rising demand for healthcare-adjacent services — from specialty practices to home health — as the population and its associated healthcare needs continue climbing quickly.
Should a St. Lucie County business focus marketing on new residents or established ones?
Given that the county added over 73,000 residents since 2020, with Port St. Lucie absorbing most of that, new-resident targeting should be a core strategy — strong Google Business Profile visibility and active review generation matter more here than in slower-growing counties.
Is international migration a meaningful part of St. Lucie County's growth?
It's a smaller but real component: of the 10,857 residents added in the most recent year, 1,353 came from international migration versus 9,861 from domestic migration — domestic in-migration from elsewhere in the U.S. remains the dominant driver of growth here.
What's the practical takeaway for marketing a St. Lucie County business?
Prioritize Port St. Lucie given it's absorbing most of the county's growth, invest in local search visibility to capture new residents making first-time provider choices, and consider the underserved manufacturing and logistics B2B market alongside the more obvious healthcare and tourism categories.
Is tourism a bigger employer in St. Lucie County than manufacturing?
Tourism employs more than 10,000 people versus manufacturing's 5,000-plus, making tourism the larger of the two sectors by headcount, though manufacturing generates over $500 million in annual revenue. Both represent genuine, distinct local economies worth targeting separately rather than lumping together under one generic economic-development message.
How does the Cleveland Clinic Martin Health presence affect local healthcare marketing?
Cleveland Clinic Martin Health is among the county's largest healthcare employers alongside HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, meaning independent and specialty healthcare providers are competing for attention against two major, well-resourced health systems. Smaller practices likely need sharper niche positioning and stronger local review signals to stand out.
Is agriculture still part of St. Lucie County's economy alongside its newer industries?
Yes — agriculture remains one of the county's traditional economic drivers alongside tourism, healthcare, and manufacturing, even as population growth and new industrial and logistics investment have increasingly defined St. Lucie County's more recent economic story.
