Ranking America's States: Where People Are Moving—And Why They’re Leaving

12. Florida

Florida is famous for its sunny weather, theme parks, and beautiful beaches, making it a magnet for retirees. While the state sees a high number of new residents each year, it also experiences a fair share of people leaving.

Some cite concerns about hurricanes, the intense summer heat, or simply wanting a change of pace. Still, for many retirees, the warm climate and lack of state income tax make it an appealing place to settle down.
