You are spot on regarding air conditioning. It wasn't until the early 60's until air conditioning really became affordable and available to most everybody. The population of Florida was less than 5 million in 1960. By 2000 it reached 16 million. The latest population figures show 20.61 million in 2016.
Air conditioners made much of this population increase possible.

How many would call Florida home without it?
