Monroe County had an estimated population of more than 77,400 people as of 2015, although 99 percent of this population lives in the Florida Keys. That is because a vast majority of the county is the Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve, which has very few human occupants.

To travel throughout the Florida Keys, residents and visitors have to rely on U.S. Highway 1, better known as the Overseas Highway. Part of this thoroughfare is the Seven Mile Bridge, which is one of the longest bridges built in the world. Because the Overseas Highway is the main road all the way from the mainland to Key West, it experiences heavy traffic and many traffic accidents throughout the year.
