Move over, California and Texas — there’s a new heavyweight in town. 

Florida’s population has officially crossed the 23 million mark — an all-time high — thanks to a massive influx of new residents flocking to the Sunshine State from other parts of the US and abroad.

As of April 1, Florida boasts 23,002,597 residents, according to the latest estimates from the state Demographic Estimating Conference, as reported by the Sun Sentinel. This milestone makes Florida the third most populous state in the nation, trailing only California’s 39.5 million and Texas’ 30.5 million.

Jillian Lovato loved living in Orange County, CA, but she hated the area’s high home prices.

“My wife Jamie and I knew we wouldn’t be able to buy the home we wanted in California,” Jillian explains. “We felt like we would have been stuck renting our whole lives.”

So in 2021, they decided to move to a different state—and while many places were less expensive than California, the couple honed in on Texas because of Jamie’s job as a golf instructor, as “weather conditions would play a big role in her time working.”
