According to Shimberg, &#8220;Miami-Dade led the state in domestic outmigration in 2025, with a loss of nearly 73,000 residents to other counties and states.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even during the peak of migration in 2022, Miami-Dade and Broward Counties both lost residents, mostly to other Florida counties. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-165049.png\" loading=\"lazy\"   alt=\" \"\/><\/p>\n<p>Graph by Shimberg Center<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-165106.png\" loading=\"lazy\"   alt=\" \"\/><\/p>\n<p>Graph by Shimberg Center<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Shimberg said they see a trend where mid-sized counties continue to attract U.S. movers.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Polk County is ranked in the top 5 counties in the U.S. for domestic in-migration every year since 2021.
