Migration of Voters in Florida, 2017-2022

Abstract

Florida has experienced significant population increase in recent years, driven in part by domestic migration from other states. This study analyzes the migration patterns of voters in Florida between 2017 and 2022 using voter registration data. By examining demographic characteristics such as race/ethnicity, gender, age, and party affiliation, I identify trends in voter migration and their implications for Florida's political landscape. The findings reveal that minorities, younger individuals, Republicans, and those possibly with non-conforming gender are more likely to migrate into Florida. These insights contribute to understanding the dynamics of Florida's migration patterns and the effect of migration on recent elections.
