NYC Lost $9 Billion of Income to Miami, Palm Beach in Five Years
- The Citizens Budget Commission reported that New York City lost $9.2 billion of income as 30,000 residents moved to Florida's Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties from 2017 to 2022.
- This migration reflects factors including high taxes in New York, which can reach nearly 15% for top earners, and Florida's lack of state income tax and lower cost of living.
- Many who relocated were high earners, with Miami-Dade newcomers averaging $266,000 per capita income and Palm Beach movers averaging $190,000, contributing significantly to Florida's income gains.
- Andrew Rein, president of CBC, emphasized that New York City's competitiveness—its capacity to draw and keep residents and businesses amid challenges like affordability, quality of life, and job availability—is a critical concern in today's economic landscape.
- The income outflow and population shifts suggest challenges to New York's tax base and economic health while Florida's growth indicates changing regional economic dynamics influenced by tax and lifestyle factors.
