Almost 330,000 People
Moved to Florida in the Last Year |
The Sunshine State is hot, and not only the weather, but also as an attractive destination for people relocating. According to the state's Office of Economic and Demographic Research, an estimated 329,717 new residents settled in Florida between April 2020 and April 2021. For Sarasota County, estimates based on 2020 Census data show annual population growth at 7,413 residents per year. According to the Sarasota County Planning and Zoning Department, the current population of Sarasota is 434,006 with an additional 96,000 seasonal influx.
The website move.org reported that Florida was the No. 1 destination for relocating Americans in 2020. And according to U-Haul, the state was the third most popular place to move during Covid, based on migration stats compiled from more than two million customer transactions. According to the National Association of Realtors, a total of 8.9 million people changed address since the start of the pandemic. The Association reports that close to 28% of the people relocating to Florida came from Texas and another 15% relocated from New York, with a little over 6% coming from California.
And for those wondering when the migration will slow down, Florida's popularity isn't expected to end any time soon: it's expected to gain an average 845 new residents a day until 2025, with 15 a day into Sarasota County, according to state projections. |
