Are you considering a move from California to Florida? If so, you're not alone. New Yorkers and Californians are flocking to the Sunshine State, and Florida reports the largest annual increase in net migration among all U. S. states.
There are many reasons why people are making the move, from the business-friendly climate to the lower cost of living without income taxes. To make your move easier, consider changing your address online. It's easy to do, inexpensive, and will ensure that your mail reaches your new home with you. The cost of living in Florida can vary widely depending on the area you choose to move to, as well as lifestyle and major attractions.
Disney Parks President Josh D'Amaro has analyzed the reasons for the move in an open letter to employees. He mentions that Florida's business-friendly climate and lower cost of living without income taxes have contributed greatly to the decision. This is backed up by U. Census Bureau data, proprietary MoveBuddha data, as well as the Zillow home value index and Florida housing data. Stacker believes in making the world's data more accessible through storytelling.
