Florida's population reaches 23 million for the first time, making it the third most populous state in the US.

Florida's population has reached 23 million for the first time, attributed to people moving from other states, with the population as of April 1 being 23,002,597. The state is now the third most populous in the US, following California and Texas. The state has been adding approximately 350,000 to 375,000 people per year this decade, with all growth since early 2020 stemming from people moving to Florida from within the U.S. or abroad. The population growth is expected to peak this year and gradually decrease in the 2020s as the final cohort of baby boomers approaches retirement.
