Both are congested with higher than average cost of living and crime. Orlando is distinctly becoming a haves/have-nots town. Dr. Phillips area of Orlando has secure, gated communities(Isleworth, Bay Hill, etc.) but you're not getting in for under about $750K. The schools in these selected areas of Orlando are very good, but elsewhere they suck! I live in Orlando and have friends in Jacksonville. Each of us love where we live and wouldn't move.
It basically comes down to this: what industry do you want to be in?
* Orlando is tourism - hotels, timeshare, theme parks.
* Jacksonville is finance - banks, insurance, etc.

both places are very congested! Orlando being absolutely ridicules! Jackson is very pretty, and the cost of living is a bit lower. However, Fl. has been hit very hard with all the problems associated with being inundated with Illegal aliens. Taxes have gone crazy, wages are low, and housing cost is almost unafordable. That's the reason we left, couldn't afford it any more.

Jacksonville has better paying jobs since it is a major banking center in Florida. Orlando jobs are horrible paying.
To me BOTH PLACES SUCK! I rather be in Miami.
