I don't doubt the data you've gleaned from the transplants you encounter in Florida, but Bham is correct:
Massachusetts Leading Northeast in Population Growth

Remember the people who've moved down to Florida are a self-selected bunch. My dad's among them. If you talk to him you'll quickly learn at this stage in his life he's all about reducing his taxes. But that's because he's retired and basically on a fixed income, living off his pension and dividends on his investments. Talk to more young people, or for that matter people of any age who've elected to stay where the transplants have arrived from and you'll hear earning potential is what matters most.
Whom would you rather attract, Retirees or young workers? Between those two groups I can tell you which one is better for the long term prospects of your state.
