Southwest Florida stands to lose at least $877,000,000 annually due to natural disasters, according to FEMA’s National Risk Index. The index looks at the potential damage caused by hurricanes, flooding and the like, and estimates how much that would cost in damages in each county. Collier ($307,633,018), Lee ($448,543,023) and Charlotte ($120,875,120) all rate “relatively high” on the index’s risk scale, primarily due to the area’s susceptibility to major hurricanes.

She started The Lady Printmaker to create cards, prints, stamps and other crafts.

Living in paradise sure has its benefits — until you start adding up the bills. According to the Economic Policy Institute, the cost of living in the Naples area is about $9,688 per month for a family of four, the seventh highest in the state. Living in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area or Punta Gorda is less expensive at $9,043 and $8,210 per month, respectively. Housing tends to be the highest cost for most families, but varies widely depending on location.

Back in 1885, two visitors from up North sailed along the Gulf until they found a pristine stretch of beach near the southwest tip of Florida. They called it Naples, and, not unlike many visitors today, they thought they had stumbled into paradise. Sen. John S. Williams and newspaperman Walter N. Haldeman had made their way down from Kentucky after hearing about Southwest Florida’s picturesque beaches and sunny environs — and real estate up for grabs.
