Florida has been a top destination for retirees for decades.
However, recent data shows that many retirees are now leaving the state.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this trend, as many retirees seek to be closer to family or in less densely populated areas.
Some retirees are moving to other warm-weather states like Arizona and Texas.
Others are relocating to more affordable areas like Tennessee and North Carolina.
Retirees are also increasingly interested in smaller towns and rural areas.
This trend has significant implications for Florida's housing market and economy.
