A new study shows that Florida is attracting younger people with high incomes more than any other state, according to CNBC.
The study by SmartAsset looked at IRS data from the 2021 tax year.
It narrowed down the population to include only the “young” and “rich.” That was defined as being between 26 and 35, and earning over $200,000 (only 2% of those in that age range met the income requirement).
The study then looked at those who had moved states during the year, and where they went to.
Florida had the highest net in-migration of young and rich of any state, with 3,391 moving here against just 1,216 leaving, for a net gain of 2,175.
California and New York where the biggest losers, with thousands of young and rich leaving those states.
