Very little of Florida is redneck Florida. Most of it is a tourist magnet with retirement communities of various price points dotting the horizon. It's pretty much just limited areas of north Florida that still have any rednecks at all.
White trash =/= rednecks. I have lived in various parts of Florida my whole life and have visited the vast majority of the rest of the state. There really aren't too many places with rednecks outside of north Florida and none of those places in any real concentration.
Where I'm from rednecks are beer drinkin, sometimes boot wearin, camo hat, drives a pickup, possibly listens to country music. Hunts, fishes, there are over a million hunting licenses issued in Florida every year. If a million isn't a lot I don't know what world you live in.
You're making weird generalizations there. Having a hunting or fishing/license in no way makes you a redneck. I have a hunting license but I work in an office as a consulting engineer in a very corporate setting, and significant proportion of my colleagues also have hunting licenses. None of us qualify as rednecks under any of your other criteria.
Neither does your fashion sense or music preference make you a redneck. You do realize the term redneck comes from working outside all day like a farmer (the redneck being a quintessential portion of a farmer's tan) right?
So, if you drive a pickup because you live on an orange grove and it makes your work day faster, you're a redneck; if you're a hunt leader or game fisherman who shows dudes (a dude being a city slicker) how to do your profession, you're also a redneck. But considering professions of that nature are on the decline and most groves are worked by more latinos than whites (latinos generally don't have the right skin tone to turn into a redneck), there aren't a ton of rednecks left outside the airboat tour industry and it's safe to day that there are nowhere near a million airboat rental places in Florida.
But, if you sit on the front porch of your double wide, drinking beer and collecting unemployment, you're just trailer trash. And if you wear camo and put a lift kit on your truck to drive to your state university, you're just a douche.
You can be a CEO of a fortune 500 company and still be a redneck. President Lyndon B Johnson was a redneck. It no longer means the literal of "working outside." It has everything to do with way of life. I'm from Arkansas. Have you ever been to Arkansas? People that speak with a country accent. People that drink beer. In this sense I'm using redneck to mean "southern person." And for a literal definition there are thousands of landscapers, roofers, plumbers, electricians, and mechanics that all qualify.
EDIT: On further review you're a Catholic so you wouldn't have the slightest idea of what a redneck is in the first place nevermind.

I don't know why you are getting down voted.
I've never seen an above ground pool in Florida either. Maybe we just dont have them in south Florida.
