A news release accompanying the data said net international migration “was the critical demographic component of change driving growth in the resident population. With a net increase of 2.8 million people, it accounted for 84% of the nation’s 3.3 million increase in population between 2023 and 2024.”
“The largest contributing component to this growth was international migration, which added 1.1 million people,” the Census Bureau said. “Domestic migration netted another 411,004 residents. The South was the only region with positive net domestic migration, where the number of people entering the region exceeded those leaving. Natural increase also contributed 218,567 to the growing region.”
The state report estimated Florida had a population of 23 million people on April 1, with the total estimated to increase to 25.7 million in 2034. State and Census Bureau estimates have differed in the past, at least in part because of their methodologies.
