With a current population of 82,973, Deltona is the largest municipality within Volusia County. Centrally located between Daytona Beach and Orlando, Deltona provides a large residential base for commuters to both cities.

The City can be characterized as an "edge city" to the Orlando Metropolitan Area. The City of Deltona is adjacent to the Cities of DeBary, Orange City, Lake Helen, and is in close proximity to the City of DeLand. The City of Deltona also abuts the rural communities of Cassadaga, Enterprise and Osteen.


According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, the southwest Volusia County area had a population of approximately 100,000 and a projected increase to approximately 150,000 by the year 2010.

The main transportation network within the City is made up of a series of residential collectors, some of which function as minor arterials. Interstate-4 provides regional transportation access and allows Deltona to be very accessible to the Daytona Beach and Orlando Metropolitan Area. Deltona is approximately 25 miles from both cities.

From a regional perspective, the US 17-92 corridor is a main hub of commercial activity. This trend of commercial use is evident in the Cities of DeBary, DeLand and Orange City's existing land use pattern; commercial activity also occurs along Enterprise Road and Saxon Boulevard to just east of Interstate-4.

The City has seven elementary schools, three middle, and two high schools operated by the Volusia County School System with a total enrollment of over 17,400 students. Some Deltona elementary school students also attend two other schools that are located outside of the City limits. Deltona’s first high school, Deltona High, opened in 1989. Deltona High has an enrollment rate of 2,844 students. In 1994, a second high school was built. Pine Ridge High has an enrollment rate of 2,593 students.

Daytona Beach Community College (DBCC), Deltona Center Campus, is located at the City of Deltona’s Municipal Complex. City Hall is located on 10 acres of a 100-acre State educational site upon which the separate DBCC Deltona Center Campus was opened on August 2004. The City has provided 8,000 sq. ft. of space in the City Hall facility to DBCC. This space is to be provided for a five-year period and, when the lease term expires in 2007, it is anticipated that City staff will take over the wing of the building currently housing DBCC.
