      "district_summary": "Florida's 7th Congressional District encompasses Seminole County and northern Orange County, including parts of Orlando and the suburban communities of Oviedo, Winter Springs, Altamonte Springs, and New Smyrna Beach. The district is home to approximately 789,605 residents and is 97.87% urban. It is 61.5% White (Non-Hispanic), 20.8% Hispanic, 8.8% Black, and 3.9% Asian, with 12.5% of residents foreign-born. Median household income is $81,536, above the national median but lower than some neighboring Florida districts, with a poverty rate of 6.1% (LegisLetter) to 9.18% (Data USA). Homeownership is 71.7% with median property value of $354,500. 37.0% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, and the median age is 42.1. The district leans Republican (R+5 per Cook PVI, R+13 per LegisLetter) and voted for Trump in 2020. Mills flipped the seat from Democratic control in 2022 after redistricting made it more Republican. The economy is anchored by healthcare, tourism and hospitality, aviation/aerospace, and tech/defense. Key institutions include the University of Central Florida (the largest university in the state by enrollment), Orlando Sanford International Airport, and a growing tech sector. The district is car-dependent (69.7% drive alone) with an average commute of 28 minutes.",
