Florissant has several subdivisions, including Colorado Mountain Estates, [http://www.florissant-heights.org Florissant Heights] , Indian Creek, Wilson Lakes, and Valley Hi.

Florissant continues to grow to meet the needs of its diverse population. Examples of this include the addition of a new library offering multimedia opportunities, fast broadband, computer access; as well as, wireless access has brought residents closer to friends, relatives, and online education. As with most communities which are neither incorporated nor census-designated places, determination of a reasonable population count for Florissant is problematic as there is no objective standard determining exactly how much area around the business district should be included in the community.
