- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ค. 2024
- Venturing into the heart of Florida, I recently embarked on a compelling exploration of Cocoa Florida, a city that has garnered quite a reputation, earning the title of one of the most challenging places to live in the Sunshine State for the year 2022. 🏚️ Multiple sources and surveys have consistently cited Cocoa as the worst city in Florida, leaving me with an insatiable curiosity to delve deeper into the reasons behind this unfortunate label. 🕵️♂️🌆
As I stepped into Cocoa, I couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and eagerness to understand the dynamics that contribute to its challenging living conditions. The statistics might paint a grim picture, but I was determined to go beyond the numbers and explore the stories and nuances that define this city.
🏡 Unraveling the Narrative:
From neighborhood walkabouts to conversations with residents, my vlog aims to unravel the narrative of Cocoa, shedding light on the factors that have led to its classification as one of the worst cities. We'll explore the city's history, socio-economic factors, and community dynamics, seeking to understand the complex tapestry that shapes its identity.
🌍 Contextualizing the Rankings:
While statistics have their place, they often lack the context that is crucial for a comprehensive understanding. I'll dive into the various surveys and assessments that have labeled Cocoa unfavorably, questioning the methodologies and examining whether there's more to the story than meets the eye.
🔍 Spotlight on Challenges:
Cocoa, like any other city, faces its set of challenges. From economic struggles to social issues, I'll shine a spotlight on the aspects that contribute to the perception of Cocoa as a difficult place to reside. Additionally, I'll explore any community initiatives or local efforts aimed at addressing these challenges and fostering positive change.
🌟 Balancing Perspectives:
It's essential to balance the narrative by acknowledging both the difficulties and the unique aspects that make Cocoa a resilient community. I'll showcase moments of strength, resilience, and the beauty that can be found even in the midst of challenges.
Join me on this in-depth journey as we peel back the layers of Cocoa, Florida, in an attempt to understand the city beyond its "worst" label. Together, we'll uncover the stories that make Cocoa a complex and multifaceted community. 🎥🏞️ #CocoaCityExploration #FloridaWorstCities #BehindTheStatistics #CommunityStories 🌴💬

Is Mc D s still in Dixon Blvd?.is Arbetters still there ?
I've been living here in Cocoa for 40+ years. It has deteriorated through the years. We are actually called the arm pit of Brevard County. But there is also really decent areas like Cocoa Village and the riverside. It's literally only less than a 5 minute drive from that trailer park you were driving through, not way out.
I did a vlog in cocoa village. It was probably my 5th vlog I have done. I lived in cocoa for a few years in the late 90's. I was none as DJ Lil T. Cocoa was fun and lit when I was in my teens.
No one ever calls it the armpit of brevard you liar
Cocoa worst neighborhoods still looks better than a lot of other areas I have seen.
I agree, Cocoa isn't a dirty nasty city.
There’s always those few houses in the ghetto that look like they try really hard to make it look like they don’t live in a ghetto. Nice, clean yard and a decent looking house. Those people are legends
Thanks for watching!
You do a nice job with your videos. Very Helpful and honest ! Thank You Tim!!
I appreciate at that and thanks for watching
Looks pretty calm and quiet to me. I would take this over Jackson, Detroit, Portland or San Franciso.
I'm with you!
We drove through Cocoa once leaving the Disney Boat and Cocoa Beach on our way back to Orlando a few years ago. My mom was like, “lock your door. Don’t unlock it until we’re out of this city.”
Lol, thanks for watching!
It's not that bad. I've been here 40+ years. It's no different than driving through the bigger nicer cities. Crime is a lot lower than it used to be. We have an awesome sheriff that doesn't take anyone's crap!
Thanks for the update. Keep making these types of videos.
You bet!
I believe why so many of us like to watch the ghetto areas is that we are all tired of seeing how the other half live that is mostly out of reach for most of us, that and the fact that a lot more of us can relate to that situation.
You may be right and thanks for tuning in.
Cocoa is a pretty clean place. The projects has green grass and all of the roads you drove down are paved. And I did not see trash everywhere like in most cities.
Correct, Cocoa is a clean city.
This is because our code enforcement stays on top of the homeowners and landlords. They often drive through the neighborhoods within the city limits at least once per week, sending letters out for homeowners and landlords to make improvements to their properties. It's strictly enforced in most areas.
Hi
I have live in cocoa all my life and I never seen the bad side of cocoa.
I saw your video and I really enjoyed watch them and seen all different place in cocoa.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!
I legit loved the concept of this vid
Thanks for watching!
My home!!! It’s not that bad. Even in the bad parts, just mind your business and it’s all good.
Correct!! Thanks for watching. Much appreciated
Thanks for your honest review.
My pleasure 😊
I used to deliver pizzas in all those areas. Even got robbed at gunpoint at 800 N Fiske, Crestview Apts. I really enjoyed a drive through my old stomping grounds. You should go back to and take some additional video of some of those places at night, like Lake View on a Friday or Saturday night, around 11pm. They were having street parties every weekend. A little sketch for a pizza dude, but I never had a bad experience out there. Great video!
Thanks for sharing that and for watching. Much appreciated! I use to live in Cocoa back in the mid 90's for a few years and I had a blast.
My husband used to deliver pizza as well n got robbed at mom n pops place on Fisk Blvd. By prospect Ave. It was the stores money. Still today is bad
Gotta love the 800s
I was born in rockledge raised in cocoa. But now live in London KY.
Thanks for watching! Hows London KY?
this was straight up facts
Thanks for watching!
WOW JUST WOW!! 😱
Thanks for watching!
I never been to Cocoa. I may check it out while visiting Melbourne in a few weeks.
You should, Thanks for watching!
In these hoods, I see blacks, whites, mexicans, etc period!! Hood aren’t always black people. You showed it all, the trailers, projects, apartments, and homes. This other TH-camr SOUTHERN LIFE did a vid about coca but he only showed some black hoods. Thanks BRA
Thanks for watching!
What kinda camera you use?? Quality A1!!
Thanks, I used my Sony ZV-1 4k Vlogging camera, and a GoPro 10 in this vlog.
U passed my cousin house n all 😂😂
Thanks for watching!
When u from the hood already particularly in FL everywhere is the same really and nothing surprises you anymore. It's all about knowing where to go and not to especially at a certain time of day and staying out of the way..crime can happen anywhere
Well said, thanks for watching! Checkout my latest vlog Belle Glades Florida. You would be shocked.
It is sad to see Florida become this big of an issue
Thanks for watching!
I wasn't expecting this 😳 I thought Cocoa Florida was a pretty beach town and a pretty safe place to live.
That's Cocoa Beach. Cocoa Beach and Cocoa is 2 different cities.
Wrong. Do not come. They are now testing nuclear bombs here and we got killer sharks!
Being real I JUST moved here from ft lauderdale . Deepside and pompano . Cocoa is a beautiful place to it’s like country but by the beach hard to explain but bro it’s not ghetto at all lmfao people tryna make this place seem hood is funny as hell to me cu it was a breath of fresh air for me cuz for some of these “hood” houses they sure do have beautiful yards and nice cars and even good lookin houses 😂😂😂
@@AustinIsChillinghi this is Ezealia I used to live in Cocoa if you go down Rosa Street you'll find if they're still there old military base housing at the end of the road if you pass 1750 Rosa Street the house there should be a house right next to it that is one of old military house it was from back from the 50-60s where does kids were told BCC college there should be a native American museum and nature preserve you have the planetarium next to the college there is a old hot dog restaurant that used to give us free vegetable oil for our truck to run off of and I wish you used to live there a couple years ago but we used to do for the neighborhood to help the kids that couldn't afford a lot of stuff we used to do cotton candy moonbounces Halloween fest outdoor movie nights but Cocoa does have a lot of hidden places that a lot of us locals in Cocoa did not tell anybody there are a lot of places over there that is has been filmed in movie productions innertown we didn't have a lot of news on it but we were hit by EF0 tornado back in the late '90s near the water tower on US1 and we had one of the first Burger Kings that look just like checkers
Cocoa and cocoa beach are 2 different cities. They are seperated by 2 rivers and Merritt Island.
Whoever lived in Cocoa between 99 and 2003 do you remember the elementary schools used to have the cotton candy the moon bounds the Titanic inflatable slide our street from the RV we used to have outdoor movie night with the projector and we used to have our arcade games on the porch so when kids in the neighborhood wanted to have fun and their parents wanted them to be safe they would come over to our house sometimes this is one of the kids that would help out the community in Cocoa and if you do remember our town was different very quiet very surreal with a lot of history and a lot of movies that were filmed in our little town and a lot of people from the cities like St Pete Miami some parts of Orlando have moved over here and a lot of people from up north we didn't see what I was little we didn't start seeing drugs really until that I know of around the 98 and after the twin towers fell our town It changed because before it was always clean It was quiet our neighbors got along with each other there wasn't really a lot of fighting we did have to deal with a lot of street racing down certain streets that were half dead end roads near the college in our town because we're my old house is that's in Cocoa mustang flipped in our yard and our road had old military housing that was between the '50s and '60s that is still there and we knew we could walk from one part of our town to the other side and pretty much walk all the way into rockledge and our town did have a lot of fixing up old classic cars we did have a '50s diner there is a hot dog place that I believe that is still there that is on Dixie boulevard when you go up to the train tracks and it's on your left we used to fill up our truck on vegetable oil back in the day and our truck helped out for pulling vehicles when we got hit by hurricane Ivan and hurricane Jean our little town has always tried to help other people out very quiet but our town was always cool and I wish I was still there because it was a lot better than the town in Florida that I am in right now because my home town of Cocoa it is safer than this town that I'm in right now
Thanks for watching!
Don't be afraid to use that little button on your keyboard that has the dot on it. That is called a period.
@@anitadrink5255 Thanks for watching!

WOW, Cocoa looks dead!!! As a Floridian born in Orlando where's there's NO Culture, everyone that moves here from Fort Lauderdale or Miami is like wtf😂😂YES we know, we hate it too😭😭😭
Cocoa has some culture, and thanks for watching.
Damn I live there
Thanks for watching!
DJ Twig & Gabe are my first cousins IRL
Cool! Thanks for tuning in!!
So would you not recommend this town for someone to move into? My wife and I have a 14 year old and we’re looking to relocate to Florida and this area is much cheaper to buy vs Melbourne area.
They are cleaning up the cocoa area. So soon it should be more jobs, stores etc. But if you want more to do and better jobs, Melbourne is better.
You get what you pay for. Melbourne is a much better choice in my opinion.
I'd recommend cocoa over Melbourne. But I'm biased
'the hood' gose to homes that cost 200-400k+ with cars outside that cost 40k 20k XD
Thanks for watching!
cocoa do be dead asf sometimes, unless you go to the downtown cocoa village area or through the hood there isnt much to doin the area
Cocoa use to be lit back in the 90's. Thanks for watching!
I live in cocoa and we hear gun shots every night
Every night seems a little extreme but thanks for watching
I see that it's a lot of projects, low income housing and trailer parks in that city.
Yes it easy. Thanks for watching!
That's because he's driving through these areas only, there's a lot better areas in Cocoa that he's not showing you. We have a beautiful riverside and lots of beautiful homes, condos, docks and boats etc. along that side of town. He's not showing you ALL of Cocoa.
I ben there one of my friends use to live there
Thanks for watching!
I live in coco off clear lake road , and it's not that bad here especially compared to other cities like Orlando , Tampa , Miami etc . I'm originally from D.C. /Richmond VA coco is pretty timid in comparison. Off fiske and Dixon shit may go down , and out in west cocoa. Theres alot of drug addicts and homeless people as well . If you mind your own business, stay in your lane , don't get involved with certain shit you'll be fine . I'm a white dude and I've been all over cocoa and never had any issues for real . I'm not saying shit doesn't go down here because it does , and I heard back in the eighties and nineties it was active but compared to other cities in Florida I feel like it's pretty timid here .
I lived in Cocoa for a few years in the late '90s, and it used to be a lively, fun place. I really enjoyed my time there. Yes, there was some crime, but overall, it was a good place to live. Cocoa had a lot of mom and pop businesses who were very successful. It had things to do for everyone. Unfortunately, things started to decline around 2006, and it has become quite boring since then. Thanks for tuning in.
This is one of the worst cities in America....Not just Florida
Thanks for watching!
I have some family who lives in Cocoa.
Thanks for watching!
like any other state, Florida toke has some bad areas
Thanks for watching!
Cocoa is straight hood!!
It's really not, but thanks for watching!
Formancourt was bad for a while
Thanks for sharing that!
Chocolate City is most def gutta. Has always been 💯
Tell these realtors that who keep commenting lies lol...
Did you show everybody Riverwalk downtown cocoa
No, I showed the riverwalk in another video I did about Cocoa. Thanks for watching!
They got cruise ships and nasa orlando not far opportunities seem good. Come to louisiana ill show you a real hood.
I been to the New Orleans hoods years ago... Thanks for watching.
@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS you seen a little something but that's the rich louisiana down south is extra
This is not how the whole city looks. You drove closer to the Rockledge line off Rosa L. Jones. Where is all the homes along the river? Cocoa Village? Cocoa West? North Cocoa? PSJ? All these areas have more expensive homes some very expensive. There is more than the the lower income areas that you have in this video.
PSJ is not in COCOA Florida. It's more low income beat up area's in Cocoa than anything. Face the reality. Thanks for watching.
@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS PSJ is Cocoa. zips 32922, 32926, 32927. You face it and stop only showing a small part for your benefit. Thanks for showing nothing.
What little Vietnam
Thanks for watching!
A champion hoodie is more hood than this place 😂
LOL, Thanks for watching!
Looks well manicureed
It its! Thanks for watching!
Boy you crazy lol
Thanks for tuning in.....
Man please I live in Miami coco wwhat😂😂😂
LOL !!!
😮 I see that Cocoa has a lot of hoods for whites, blacks, and Mexicans.
Indeed, thanks for tuning in.
*Puerto Ricans / Cubanos... not many Mexicans.
Just where he's showing you. Not all of Cocoa is like this.
Kingstreet trailer park is bad
Thanks for sharing that!
Florida seems to be getting way worse day by day
Thanks for watching!
Nah I like it here. It seems to be alright
It's not, just getting crowded and for some reason there's a spot light on it.
I don't agree with you. Crimes happen because there are people who don't want to do anything for themselves. They are just waiting for other people to do it for them. If they don't get what they want, they go and commit crimes because it is the easy way for them to get the money. Poor people need to stop giving excuses, and they need to understand the life cycle. They need to educate themselves and work smart and hard. Most of those people were raised by dysfunctional parents with no role model parents at home. Poor people always are providing excuses for the condition that they are living but the don't do anything to improve their self. Those Poor children Most injoy the USA Army and they can learn a lot and go to college for free but instead they prefer to be involved in criminal games. There is always a way to improve ourselves. Just make the first move.
I appreciate your perspective, though I must say I respectfully disagree. Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. Your viewership is greatly valued!
"it's quite obvious that you're not from here"
Cocoa has a large diverse population, white and Hispanic.
We have one street that separates Black and white, that's Fiske Blvd.
There's a lot of good and bad like any other city.
People in cocoa are willing to help anyone ❤
My family is the the GLASCO'S! I resided in Cocoa for several years, gaining an in-depth understanding of the area. Cocoa is indeed a diverse community. However, the city itself seems to have seen limited progress over the past few decades. Unfortunately, opportunities for good jobs, places to shop and entertainment are still lacking in Cocoa. According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Cocoa was: White: 57.23%, Black or African American: 29.42%, Two or more races: 8.46%, Other race: 2.97%, Asian: 1.64%, Native American: 0.21%, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.07%. Thanks for watching.
Filming yourself committing several traffic infractions… good job bud

Of course, buddy! :)
very misleading, you drove thru the shittiest pasts of cocoa, the areas most run down. such a small part of the city thats been ruined by drugs and crime, not the better parts of the city. shame if you claim to be a local.....
Most parts of cocoa looks like that besides downtown. #facts Thanks for watching!
Where are the good cities I'm planning to move here in a few months
Cocoa was my home from birth to 1975 and the 60s and 70s in Cocoa were fantastic. But I do much more prefer Melbourne.
Thanks for watching!

Cocoa was a lil city and it was lit back in the day. Thanks for watching!
Courtney Parkway in Merritt Island around the Bike Shop is a shit hole.
