Floridians born in other states prop up state’s education level
Over the last 40 years, Florida’s growth has been fueled by new residents from other states and countries. As of 2012, only 20% of Floridians ages 25 and older were born in Florida; 80% moved here from other states or nations. Of those current Florida residents born out of state, 61.2% have some college or higher. That falls to 52.6% for residents born in Florida. Among those born in other countries, the rate is 47.8%.
