Micco, Florida: Community Guide

Micco is not a city: it is an unincorporated community in southern Brevard County that the Census Bureau counts as Micco CDP, and Brevard County government provides its local services.

The Census Bureau's 2024 gazetteer gives Micco CDP 7.604 square miles of land and 2.25 square miles of water (Census gazetteer). A census-designated place is a statistical area, so the Micco boundary on Census maps carries no mayor, council or city hall of its own.

Micco is easiest to picture through its county facilities, which share the Micco, FL 32976 mailing address. Micco Park is at 9655 Riverview Dr (Brevard County Parks), the South Mainland Community Center is at 3700 Allen Ave (Brevard County Parks), and the South Mainland/Micco Public Library is at 7921 Ron Beatty Blvd. (Brevard County Library Services).

Addresses can mislead around Micco. The county's Micco Scrub Sanctuary, despite the name, lists its location as 500 Micco Road, Palm Bay, FL 32909 (Brevard County EEL Program), a reminder that a Micco name does not always mean a Micco mailing address. Brevard County Commission District 3 names both Micco and Barefoot Bay among its communities (Brevard County District 3), and the Micco CDP census profile guide maps what the Census includes.

Micco had an estimated 8,896 residents in the Census Bureau's ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, with a median age of 68.2.

Older adults make up most of Micco. In that ACS release, 61.4 percent of Micco residents were 65 or older, only 4.8 percent were under 18, and 3.7 percent were Hispanic or Latino of any race (ACS 2024 DP05 for Micco CDP). The population estimate carries a margin of error of plus or minus 801, wide enough that the Micco figure is best read as roughly 8,100 to 9,700 people.

Micco median household income was $45,794, and working residents averaged a 24.4 minute commute; 19.7 percent of employed residents worked in educational services, health care and social assistance (ACS 2024 DP03). Nearly every occupied Micco home is owned: 91.9 percent were owner occupied, with a median value of $172,600 and median gross rent of $1,430 (ACS 2024 DP04).

The housing count shows a large gap. The ACS counts 6,834 housing units in Micco but only 5,156 occupied, leaving 1,678 units, 24.6 percent, vacant at survey time (ACS 2024 DP04 housing occupancy). The Micco seasonal residents guide and the age and retirement income guide follow those numbers further.

Micco is governed by the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners, and its commissioner is District 3 Commissioner Kim Adkinson, whose office is on New Haven Avenue in Melbourne.

The District 3 page lists Commissioner Kim Adkinson as vice chair of the county commission, with a phone of (321) 633-2075 and an office at 1311 E. New Haven Avenue, Melbourne (Brevard County District 3). District 3 takes in Melbourne, Melbourne Beach, Palm Bay, Grant-Valkaria, Malabar, West Melbourne, Micco and Barefoot Bay. The full Brevard County Board of County Commissioners is based at 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way in Viera (Brevard County).

Because Micco has no city hall, everyday questions go to county departments. Parks questions for Micco Park and the South Mainland Community Center go to the county's south area parks office at (772) 663-8748 (Brevard County Parks), and the Micco library answers at (772) 664-4066 (South Mainland/Micco Public Library). Last verified: October 15, 2026, on the Brevard County website.

The Micco veterans guide covers county veteran services, and the Brevard County guides cover property taxes, elections, the sheriff and utilities that serve unincorporated Micco.

Micco's public places are county-run: Micco Park on Riverview Drive, the South Mainland Community Center gym on Allen Avenue, the South Mainland/Micco Public Library and the 1,322-acre Micco Scrub Sanctuary.

Micco Park is a 9.32-acre neighborhood park partially shaded by oaks, with a playground, restrooms, one lighted basketball court, one lighted tennis and pickleball court, and two pavilions that can be reserved; parking is free (Brevard County Parks). The South Mainland Community Center sits on a 10.38-acre Micco park with a 4,745 square foot center and a 6,874 square foot gymnasium holding one basketball court and three pickleball courts (Brevard County Parks). The Micco center is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closed on weekends.

The Micco library offers public computers, free WiFi, three study rooms and a meeting room for up to 55 people that is booked through the library at (772) 664-4066 (South Mainland/Micco Public Library). Micco library hours on Wednesday and Saturday run only four hours, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

For trails, the Micco Scrub Sanctuary protects 1,322 acres of scrubby flatwoods and mesic flatwoods, open every day for day use with free parking, hiking, biking and horseback riding; pets, smoking, alcohol and motorized vehicles are prohibited (Brevard County EEL Program). The Micco parks section has guides to Micco Park and the South Mainland Community Center and to the Micco Scrub Sanctuary, and the places section has the South Mainland/Micco library guide.

The newest item from Micco's District 3 commissioner is a Rain Ready program: at the October 6, 2026 Brevard County Commission meeting, Commissioner Kim Adkinson brought forward an item directing the county's SOIRL staff to prepare one for the 2027 plan update.

The District 3 October 2026 newsletter notice says the item directs the SOIRL staff to prepare the Rain Ready program for inclusion in the 2027 SOIRL plan update (Brevard County District 3).

Flood insurance terms for Micco are set countywide. FEMA's Community Status Book shows Brevard County's unincorporated areas, which include Micco, at Community Rating System class 8 with a rating effective October 1, 2024 (FEMA NFIP community status). That rating is the one Micco policyholders see, not a Micco rating of its own.

The Micco Scrub Sanctuary page now carries a 2025 trail map (Brevard County EEL Program), the current reference for anyone planning a Micco scrub hike.

Evacuation orders and emergency alerts for Micco reach residents through AlertBrevard, the notification system offered by Brevard County Emergency Management at 1751 Huntington Lane, Rockledge, phone (321) 637-6670.

AlertBrevard sends automated calls, texts or emails about boil water notices, shelter-in-place or evacuation orders and similar events, based on addresses a resident registers (Brevard County Emergency Management). A Micco household can register its own address and, for example, the address of an elderly parent, which suits a community where most residents are 65 or older.

Micco flood insurance falls under unincorporated Brevard County. FEMA lists Brevard County (community 125092) in the National Flood Insurance Program with a current effective flood map dated January 29, 2021, and a class 8 Community Rating System score that gives a 10 percent discount inside the special flood hazard area and 5 percent outside it (FEMA NFIP community status).

The Brevard County safety guides cover AlertBrevard, hurricane shelters and the special needs registry for every unincorporated area, Micco included, and the Micco seasonal residents guide covers part-year residents.

Micco has seven guides in three sections, demographics, parks and places, and the table below matches each common Micco question to its guide.

For services Brevard County runs everywhere, such as property taxes, elections and emergency management, the Brevard County guides apply to Micco, and the Barefoot Bay, Palm Bay and Sebastian town guides cover the nearby places outside the Micco CDP.
