Population

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of Poinciana was estimated to be 53,193 as of 2017. This represents a significant increase from 2000, when the population was just 17,019 residents. Poinciana is now the third most populous settlement in Polk County.

History

Poinciana was established in 1972 by Avatar Properties, which purchased over 47,000 acres of land in Polk and Osceola counties. The company's original plan was to build a retirement community called Cypress Lakes. In the 1980s, the vision shifted towards developing Poinciana into a mixed-age community.

Major homebuilders like AV Homes and Taylor Woodrow began constructing thousands of houses, apartments, and condos in Poinciana in the 1990s and 2000s. This sparked rapid population growth. Poinciana incorporated as a census-designated place in 1993.

Today, residents new and old are working to build a sense of community in Poinciana. The Association of Poinciana Villages helps organize events and oversees improvements in the area.
