Florida. will keep growing by over 330,000 people annually (906 each day) and top 22 million residents by 2022, as outlined by a report by state economists. The rate is the same as adding a city population larger than Orlando each and every year.
Florida Growth to Top 300,000 People Annually
Florida will continue growing by more than 300,000 people annually and will top 22 million residents in 2022, according to a report posted online this week by state economists.
The Demographic Estimating Conference updated population forecasts through April 1, 2024 and showed steady growth throughout the multi-year period.
“Between April 1, 2018 and April 1, 2024, population growth is expected to average 330,605 net new residents per year (906 per day), representing a compound growth rate of 1.53% over this six-year time horizon,” an executive summary of the report said. “These increases are analogous to adding a city slightly larger than Orlando every year.”
The report estimated the population on April 1, 2018, at 20.84 million, having an increase to 21.2 million on April 1, 2019. It’s forecast to reach 22.2 million as of April 1, 2022 and 22.8 million on April 1, 2024.
The population increases will primarily originate from “net migration” as people move into the state, as opposed to births, which are largely offset by deaths.
The report noted that the state’s forecasts are in fact lower than population predictions by the U.S. Census Bureau, saying they utilize different methodologies in reaching their estimates.
