What makes Santa Rosa County different: Santa Rosa County is anchored by Naval Air Station Whiting Field near Milton, one of the Navy's two primary fixed- and rotary-wing pilot-training bases, giving the county a large active-duty, veteran and military-retiree population. It is one of Florida's faster-growing counties, with the Navarre area its largest community; its 65-plus share (about 17.5%) sits well below Florida's 21.8% because of the working-age military presence.
