Relocations to Florida showing no signs of slowing down

This week’s blog is about a recent article by ABC 7 discussing relocations to Florida staying steady with no signs of slowing. Between January 2020 and April 2021, at least 555,710 people have moved to Florida. New Yorkers were the number one population increase, with New Jersey and Georgia in second place. FGCU experts say the new world of working remotely has been a big factor in recent migration. “Being able to move out and trying to find other things they like, I think it does play a role,” said Dr. Amir Neto, the interim director of FGCU’s Regional Economic Research Institute. The article features a nicely made chart showing the number of Driver Licenses switched from NY to FL from 2019 to 2021.
