Florida is now the fastest-growing state in the Union, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s estimates. Between 2021 and 2022, Florida’s population increased by 1.9% to 22,244,823. The last time the Sunshine State earned the distinction was in 1957.
Florida is also the third most populous state, behind only California and Texas.
Idaho, the previous fastest-growing state, has a rather small population of 1,893,410 people, roughly the population of Broward County.
Florida’s population density has increased by 800%, skyrocketing from 51.7 people per square mile in 1950, when we were the 29th most densely populated state, to 401.4 per square mile in 2020.
While the population rate was at its lowest in 2020, during the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 and 2022 saw an influx of new residents from other areas of the country.
Craig Studnicky, CEO and president of the Related/ISG brokerage firm says, “I’m amazed by the number of New Yorkers who are moving here permanently. They’re not just buying second homes. It’s the most dynamic market I’ve ever seen. These are prominent homeowners moving here permanently. I’ve never seen this in South Florida before.”
