Florida gains 58,000 New Yorkers, $11B in income

The latest parcel of news in Florida migration in some ways is more of the same — people continue to move to the Sunshine State in throngs. But this latest nugget comes with a twist: it’s from the IRS. 

Florida, according to IRS migration data analyzed by The Center Square, a statewide news service, has gained more people than any other state since the pandemic began. Overall, 709,120 people relocated to Florida from 2020 to 2021, both from within the U.S. and internationally. And Florida had a net gain of 257,487 people in that time frame, the data shows. The IRS population report, according to The Center Square, is derived from income tax filings.
