Those are jaw-dropping stats that go against what one would intuitively expect. Florida's net migration to Travis Co. totally stomped California's. Yet Florida's population is only about 60% of CA's. I'm admittedly obsessed with global warming but I have to wonder if there are many Floridians who realize that the writing's on the wall for them, what with South Beach already getting regular micro-floods of sea water and the ever-impending doom of the next big hurricane to make landfall there.
But here's the rub: Florida has been the only thing standing between Texas and the "Most Laughable State in The USA" title for many years now. According to the stats, the Floridians moving here have an impressively high average income, so I'm assuming we're not getting their "shirtless bleary-eyed parole violators answering the door in a rerun of Cops", but it still raises concerns. I'm going to assume that any face eaters who choose TX over FL will opt for Harris County, a much better fit.
