What do we actually know about Cape Coral?
Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Cape Coral has about 236,264 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 559 fatal crashes in Lee County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2022 (128). Those are county-wide counts, not Cape Coral alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.
