Lamme and Oldakowski identify several demographic political and cultural elements that characterize South Florida and distinguish it from other areas of the state Many of its differences appear to be driven by its proportionately higher level of migration from the northern U.S states and from the Caribbean and Latin America particularly in the densely populated Miami area Politically South Florida is more liberal than the rest of the state While less than 10% of people in either North or Central Florida felt their area was liberal over a third of South Floridians described their region as such 38% characterized the area as conservative; 26% as moderate This tracks with South Florida's demographics and Lamme and Oldakowski's findings parallel Barney Warf and Cynthia Waddell's research on Florida's political geography during the 2000 Presidential election the economy in South Florida is very similar to that in Central Florida Compared to the more diversified economy in North Florida tourism is by far the most significant industry in South and Central Florida with a much smaller but vibrant agricultural industry, Main article: Seminole The area from Orlando to the tip of the Florida peninsula was at one point a single drainage unit When rainfall exceeded the capacity of Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee River floodplain it spilled over and flowed in a southwestern direction to empty into Florida Bay Prior to urban and agricultural development in Florida the Everglades began at the southern edge of Lake Okeechobee and flowed for approximately 100 miles (160 km) emptying into the Gulf of Mexico the limestone shelf is wide and slightly angled instead of having a narrow deep channel characteristic of most rivers the vertical gradient from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay is about 2 inches (5.1 cm) per mile creating an almost 60-mile (97 km) wide expanse of river that travels about half a mile (0.8 km) a day This slow movement of a broad shallow river is known as sheetflow and gives the Everglades its nickname River of Grass Water leaving Lake Okeechobee may require months or years to reach its final destination Florida Bay the sheetflow travels so slowly that water is typically stored from one wet season to the next in the porous limestone substrate the ebb and flow of water has shaped the land and every ecosystem in South Florida throughout the Everglades' estimated 5,000 years of existence the motion of water defines plant communities and how animals adapt to their habitats and food sources.
