Common questions

How many people moved to Florida in 2022–23?

605,238 people moved to Florida from other states, and 493,496 left for other states.

Where do most people moving to Florida come from?

In 2022–23, the most came from New York (71,476 people), Georgia (40,689 people), Texas (35,016 people).

Where does this data come from?

From the IRS Statistics of Income, U.S. Population Migration Data. State migration is counted when matched tax returns filed in 2022 and 2023 show addresses in different states. A household is one tax return; people counts everyone on it. Non-filers and unmatched returns are excluded. Domestic net migration is not total population change.

Why are there no “vs last year” changes?

The IRS changed how it processed this data in 2014–15, 2016–17 and 2022–23, so a change from one year to the next can reflect the method rather than real moves. We show levels, rankings and 10-year trends instead.
