the great florida migration

I recently read a statistic that in Florida only 30% of the population is native born. This makes Florida second behind only one state - Nevada. I remember seeing a special on the television once that discussed the California/Florida phenomenon, too. They had some maps of the nation, and showed the general population as they predicted it would migrate over the next thirty years. The people, displayed like a plague (LOL), slowly spread away from the center of the country and to the coasts, particularly to Florida and California. Florida has been getting more of the migration, since their cost is living is still quite a bit cheaper than in California.

In fact, the Californians have been participating in a mass exodus over the last decade or so, and many can now be found in Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, Oregon and Washington. It's interesting to see how Americans are deciding to relocate based on climate. I can only imagine what it will look like as global warming gets worse.
