More retirees than ever, retirees love to move to Florida, hence record numbers.
Where else are retirees going to go if they want year-round warm weather and relatively low cost in comparison to the Northeast? You have Arizona which works but if you want to be near water then Florida is the only choice for those looking for retirement communities.
Been this way for decades.
This is not the trend of 2020. NY lost a lot of highly professional workers who suddenly could work remotely to Miami.
Its actually the conservative NYers that are moving to FL.
There is no state that is overwhelmingly one or the other. It usually a pretty close, but one side just has a little bit more of one side that puts them over the top.

What is surprising here? The Northeast and the Upper Midwest have been emptying into Florida for at least a century. I'm not kidding. My husband's grandparents decamped for Florida in 1926 and never looked back. Not my thing, but they loved it.
Even longer. The FL town I live in was founded in the 1870's by a New Yorker and they have been steadily coming here since. There are actually two distinct categories of New Yorkers........ those whose families have been here so long they have assimilated and qualify as native and those who are more recent transplants constantly on the hunt for a "decent bagel or pizza".
Having spent most of my adult life on Long Island, there is also a fairly large number of these transplants that will go back to the NE or at least as far back north as NC......called half-backs lol. They either can't take the heat, can't make enough money here or can't adjust to the differences in lifestyle.

The insanity of the Democrats will ensure that certain states become strongholds of original Americans and those states they leave behind will enter into a death spiral. We're already seeing it happen.
Well, baby boomers are reaching retirement age now in record numbers, so that could account for it.
And I love this. More blue voters moving into red states can only bode well for the future of Florida.
That's certainly part of it, but not all. Democratic policies have destroyed the state. Businesses, particularly manufacturing ones, have been leaving for decades, due to the tax and regulatory policies. Successful people are leaving because of the greed of governments across the state taking ever more of their earnings. Others are leaving due to the constant attacks on civil rights by the states leaders, particularly the 2A. Intelligent people don't want to live in one of the most backwards, regressive places in the country. The support the state shows for violent criminals and the disdain for their victims drives still more to leave. I bailed in '94, wish I'd done so a decade sooner.
Even Ken Griffin at The Citadel is relocating his entire billion-dollar company from the liberal toilet that is Chicago to the state of Florida.
Liberalism is a disease. At first, liberalism seems like it might have some redeeming qualities. But the reality is it always degrades to the point where it is simply untenable.
