Census: Florida surpasses NY in population

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — It's official: Florida has surpassed New York in population to become the third-most populous state in the union.

Figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau show that Florida has at least 19.9 million residents. The number is likely higher because the Census uses the population as of July 1 to create its estimate. New York had 19.7 million residents.

Florida added almost 300,000 new residents from 2013 to 2014, or a little more than 800 new residents a day. By contrast, New York grew by only 51,000 over that time period.

Tax state residents to death with state income tax and property tax (or 'excise tax') on their cars' book value annually…...and they'll leave!
