Top 10 States making the move to Florida

By now, it's no surprise that Florida is a top destination for residents seeking a move, and there are many reasons why people choose the Sunshine State to lay new roots. From unbeatable weather to financial advantages, let's take a closer look at the top states where residents are packing up and making the move to Florida and the top locations searching in the Orlando region specifically.

Mid-West States: Illinois (#7), Ohio (#9)

States like Illinois and Ohio may choose Florida for those seeking year-round sunshine, trading their snow shovels for beach umbrellas. These states also benefit from no longer having a state income tax, making it an attractive financial benefit. 

Northeast: Pennsylvania (#6), New York (#1)

There's no doubt that New York's high state income tax rate is a major draw for full-time residents choosing Florida. Still, the northeast states also deal with winter weather challenges, making it attractive for Pennsylvania residents.

Mid-Atlantic States: North Carolina (#10), New Jersey (#3), Virginia (#8)

Similarly to the northeast, these states benefit from no longer incurring a state income tax. While some areas of these states may not have as many weather challenges, year-round sunshine may still be a consideration when choosing Florida to make their next move.

South: Texas (#5), Georgia (#4)

While Texas also boasts no state income tax, Texans may be drawn to the stronger job growth and unmatched access to world class beaches. With Georgia being neighbors to Florida, the transition across the state line is much easier than others, making the financial benefits of no state income tax super appealing.

West: California (#2)

Californians are facing high state income taxes of up to 13%+, making Florida an appealing choice to escape the high taxes and cost of living.
