I don’t think there will be much of a concern in another year.
You stopped reading too soon. The very next paragraph from that article reads:
However, the Sunshine State still saw its population surge by 467,347 from 2023 to 2024, according to the estimate, primarily due to the inflow of 411,322 international migrants.
Florida's population growth from 2023-2024 was the third highest in history.
