Analysis# Florida Population Analysis
Florida's population reached 22.92 million in 2024, making it the third-most populous state despite ranking only 27th in land area. The state grew 21.91% over the past decade, substantially outpacing the national average of 7.4%, driven primarily by domestic migration and retirement relocation. While the 1960s represented Florida's peak growth decade at approximately 37%, current growth rates reflect a maturing population base—the state's expansion has moderated since that era yet remains among the nation's fastest-growing large states.
