Floridians like to remain in the Sunshine State

Posted by:

Florida is retaining its residents at a remarkable rate, with 72.7% of those born in the state choosing to remain as of 2021, ranking it sixth in the nation for resident retention. This “stickiness” factor significantly impacts Florida’s economic growth, as a stable population and workforce are vital for a state’s prosperity.

The states with the highest resident retention rates are Texas (82%), North Carolina (75.5%), Georgia (74.2%), California (73%), and Utah (72.9%).

On the other end of the spectrum, Wyoming (45%), North Dakota (48.6%), Alaska (48.7%), South Dakota (54.2%), and Rhode Island (55.2%) have the lowest “stickiness” ratings.
