"Florida experienced a boom in the early years of the decade as people sought looser Covid-19 restrictions and took advantage of remote work. But the state's domestic migration fell from 183,646 in 2023 to 22,517 in 2025, a sharp decline from 2022 when 310,892 people moved to the Sunshine State from other U.S. locations. Florida, which typically ranks near the top in state-to-state migration, fell to No. 8 last year."
"Florida remains among the three most populous states - behind Texas and California - and its overall growth of 196,000 people was one of the highest last year. South Carolina had the highest overall growth rate last year at 1.5%, bumping Florida from the top. Idaho and North Carolina were second and third, respectively. Only five states saw declines in their populations from 2024 to 2025 - California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Vermont and West Virginia."
Florida's inflow of residents from other U.S. states accelerated early in the decade but has since slowed substantially. Domestic migration numbers fell from 310,892 in 2022 to 183,646 in 2023 and then to 22,517 in 2025. The state dropped to eighth in state-to-state migration while remaining one of the three most populous states, adding about 196,000 people overall last year. South Carolina led states by growth rate at 1.5%, followed by Idaho and North Carolina. National population growth slowed from 2.7 million to 1.3 million due largely to a sharp decline in net international migration. Florida's growth is expected to moderate toward pre-pandemic rates through 2034.
