The Pensacola metropolitan area is the metropolitan area centered on Pensacola, Florida. It is also known as the Pensacola-Ferry Pass-Brent Metropolitan Statistical Area, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) used for statistical purposes by the United States Census Bureau and other agencies. The Pensacola Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area was first defined in 1958, with Pensacola as the principal city, and included Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. The SMA was renamed Pensacola-Ferry Pass-Brent MSA in 2003, with the unincorporated census-designated places Ferry Pass and Brent added as principal cities. [1] The population of the MSA in the 2020 census was 511,502. [2]

The five incorporated cities within the MSA are Pensacola (Population: 51,923), Milton (8,866), Gulf Breeze (6,466), Century (1,786), and Jay (590). In addition, several unincorporated census-designated places account for a great number of the population. Most notable is Navarre (41,940); its population makes it the second largest community in the metro area, only behind Pensacola. [3] [4] [5]

Culture

Pensacola shares some aspects of European colonial culture seen in other Gulf cities like New Orleans, Galveston, TX, Biloxi, MS, and Mobile, AL. Initially settled by the Spanish, Pensacola celebrates this history with the annual Festival of the Five Flags. Pensacola also celebrates Mardi Gras each year, though, the city's festivities focus on the weekend before Mardi Gras.

Pensacola has a vibrant food culture that blends Southern cuisine with the bountiful seafood offerings of its coastal geographic setting. Among its popular dishes are fried mullet, shrimp and grits, fried grouper sandwiches, and grilled red snapper. Pensacola is world renowned for its seafood markets, none better know than Joe Patti's Seafood, the largest seafood market in America. Pensacola's proximity to fertile agricultural lands allows for seasonal harvests of peanuts, butter beans, silver corn, tomatoes, strawberries, and blue berries.
