CLEARWATER, FL - MAY 04: People visit Clearwater Beach after Governor Ron DeSantis opened the beaches at 7am on May 04, 2020 in Clearwater, Florida. Restaurants, retailers, beaches and some state parks reopen today with caveats, as the state continues to ease restrictions put in place to contain COVID-19.

Why would you want to leave North Carolina? We have everything! The only downfall is that we have to pay taxes on clothes. (In New Jersey I didn’t have this problem)

Truth is, people like the beach and they like warm weather. Thanks to the U.S. Census, we can see how many people are moving from other states to the Sunshine State. Sadly, North Carolina was number 7 on the top 10 list. These are the top ten states people left in 2019 to move to good old Florida.

#10: Illinois
#9: Virginia
#8: Texas
#7: North Carolina
#6: New Jersey
#5: California
#4: Ohio
#3: Pennsylvania
#2: Georgia
#1: New York
