Florida is the nation’s third most populous state, behind California and Texas, with a population of 21,299,325.  For the nine-year period ending 7/1/19 it grew 13.3%; third fastest of all states and behind just Texas, Utah (and DC). At $1.06 trillion, its economy is the fourth largest behind California, Texas and NY. These numbers will all be a bit higher as GraphsandLaughs has recently relocated from Maryland to Miami!
