It's still a net domestic migration of about 250,000, but that is still a lot of people leaving. Interestingly, medical care is one of the primary reasons given for leaving, along with high cost of living and insurance premiums.
Most of those moving out are coming from the real higher cost of living areas of Florida, near the coast. We moved out 3 years ago along with many other S. Floridians
