Cape Coral is in Lee County, with about 233,025 residents (Census 2024 estimate). Has more than 400 miles of canals; Ian (2022) flooded many canal-front homes. For insurance, that means waterfront and storm-surge exposure in parts of the city, with roof age and wind mitigation driving most quotes.

How does home age affect Cape Coral insurance?
Parts of the county, especially areas near the coast, fall in the Florida Building Code's wind-borne debris region, where new construction needs impact-rated openings or shutters. Your building department can confirm whether a given address is inside it.
Homes built or re-roofed after the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002 tend to document better on a wind mitigation report; older homes may need a 4-point inspection.
How big is Cape Coral?
Cape Coral ranks #8 among Florida cities by population in the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates, at 233,025 residents, up about 20.1% from the April 2020 estimates base of 194,001.
Has Cape Coral been hit by hurricanes?
At the county level: Ian (2022) made landfall at Cayo Costa as a Category 4 with catastrophic surge on Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel; Charley (2004) hit Captiva and Punta Gorda.
Homes near the water should treat flood as a separate decision from wind.
