Overview
Black Hammock is a small census-designated community in Florida, United States. Coordinates of 28.706°, -81.177° situate Black Hammock in the subtropical zone of the northern hemisphere. Census-style estimates put the resident count near 1,290. That works out to roughly 37 residents per square kilometre — low overall population density. Such a low elevation typically indicates a coastal, deltaic, or alluvial setting. The latitude suggests hot summers and mild winters typical of the subtropics. Open solar datasets indicate about 1,778 kWh/m² of solar irradiance per year, combined with sunshine for roughly 70% of daylight hours.
