Florida Grows on Diet of Old People

The U.S. Census Bureau expects Florida to become the third-biggest state within 25 years.

Florida is expected to pass New York in size by adding 11 million residents by 2030. That total is on top of the 17 million already in the state.

About 40 percent of the growth is expected among seniors.

California and Texas will stay larger than Florida, according to the report. All three combined will account for nearly half of the nation's growth in the coming decades.

Nearly two-thirds of the country will live in the South and West by 2030. -Local6.com
