Clermont is a booming city in Lake county Florida. Its population has soared recently as orange groves are converted into subdivisions. Development has prospered in the city, notably the vast amount of new subdivisions and homes. Clermont has also surged in economic growth, attracting big box retail names like Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart and Kohls as well as many smaller establishments. Clermont is noted also for East Ridge HS, the largest school in the county. East Ridge is popular for its well earned academic achievements, and athletic talents. Unfortunately growth has become so rapid, that most of the schools in Clermont, including East Ridge are largely overcrowded (with over 2,500 students).
In Early 2006, its been speculated, that there may be plans to build one of the biggest malls in Florida. However, this is yet to be confirmed. Clermont is noted for its natural Hills, which is unusual for central Florida. According to census data 21.5% of residents were born in the Northeast while 18.8% were born in the Midwest. Southerners make up 17.1% of residents. Just 6.5 % of residents were foreign born.
