2021 census data, the latest available, shows that
1.16 per 1,000 Floridians moved to California in 2021
and 0.96 Californians moved to Florida that year.

The slight trend of more Floridians moving to California, per capita, than the other way around has been the trend for decades, experts said.
 
Florida used to be a low cost/low pay state, where you would not make much money, but many things were cheaper. Young people used to like to go there, and get a start, not needing much money.

DeSantis changed all that. Now it is a high cost/low pay state. Young people will not make much money, but they will have to pay through the nose to live there.

It is not effecting older people as much, yet. One major hurricane, and old people will get the message too. In the last 5 years, homeowners insurance has risen by 300%. It is sometimes impossible to get homeowners insurance at any price. A hurricane will bring home to old people that Florida is a place that can and will wipe out your nest egg.

Disney tried to move it's animation staff from Orange County to Orlando, and the staff revolted causing Disney to back off the move.

My favorite story of a politically motivated move gone bad is Gene Simmons of KISS moving to Nevada after
complaining about the politics in California, but he moved back to Malibu after six months, bitching about the unbearable heat in Las Vegas

That is because Californians are also moving to Texas and Arizona in droves.

Vegas can be fun, but it is a creepy place. I would not want to live there.

Huge numbers of engineers and programmers move to California every year. California produces only half the engineers and programmers it needs, so the other half come from everywhere else. Many come from places like Texas and Arizona.

After they have been productive, many retire back to places like Texas and Arizona.

There is actually an exodus of retired people now.
Florida is no longer 'God's waiting room'

Many Californians who moved to Texas have serious buyer's remorse.

California is the best place in America to make money, followed by New York. They are both expensive, because people are willing to pay more to live somewhere they can make money.

Climate is much better than Florida too.

And yet California lost Congressional seats and Florida picked up a Congressional seat. :thinking:
 
You pluralized one, so you are incorrect.



In the 1950's, Florida's population increased by 7% a year. In the 2010's (when they gained one seat), their population increased by 1.4% a year. DeSantis became governor in 2019, and the current trends look less good.
They predict California will lose up to 5 seats in 2030. Texas and Florida are predicted to gain 4 seats each. So trends actually look very good, so you are incorrect.

BTW: Give yourself one internet star for catching an internet typo today.

There was no census in 2021.
Pointing to a blog is not a census.
