Over the period of five years, nearly 36,000 new residents moved to Volusia County. Nearly half of these individuals were coming from another county within the state of Florida. Seminole County had 4,627 residents move to Volusia County making it the number one place in the nation from which inflow to Volusia County comes from. Even when taking into account the 2,135 Volusia County residents who moved to Seminole, the net migration from Seminole to Volusia is still the largest compared to any other county across the United States. Following in second for both largest inflow and net migration to Volusia County was Orange County, Florida. Patrick Opalewski, VCARD Chair added, “Volusia County is an enviable location in an already desirable state to live in. We should expect to see continued growth from people moving from around the country to our community.”
While Florida is the top state from which residents move from to come to Volusia County, the states of New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia round out the top five states where inflow to Volusia County comes from. This data is collected by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey from 2013-2017 and was prepared by VCARD.
