I bet most of those people already left.
It's gonna be interesting to see Florida's numbers later this summer or fall and with the home insurance crisis and people fleeing from desantis.
Just like people leaving blue states to Florida, the same is happening in reverse. The desantis backlash is accelerating like crazy.
It is everywhere on social media.

Let’s not get hyperbolic. People who move solely due to politics are in the extreme minority.
And I
did leave Florida when I was younger followed by most of my family several years later. My grandfather lived in Miami during the Great Depression.
Florida has very real flaws for people who are younger. Poor schools in general, low wages, limited career options, overly expensive housing and insurance.
For retirees, most of the negatives don’t apply. They are more likely to pay for a home in cash, live off of pensions and retirement accounts, don’t care about schools, and will die before most climate change.
If Miami-Dade shows a real population loss, it’s going to be because of retirees pricing out larger immigrant families and falling fertility rates.
I expect exactly what the article depicts. A rising population with younger people leaving except for immigrants who live in overcrowded housing to work in service industries.
