Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Number Party!
The official census numbers aren't out yet, but news outlets are buzzing with estimates that'll make your head spin faster than a gator chasing a tourist's flip-flop. We're talking 14,000 new residents setting up shop in the River City between July 2022 and July 2023. That's like adding the entire population of a small town – and their pet alligators, presumably – practically overnight!
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
But why the sudden surge? Well, put on your detective hat, because here are a few hunches:

- Sunshine and Taxes: Florida's reputation as a tax haven is no secret. Plus, who wouldn't trade shoveling snow for building sandcastles?

- The Beach, Man, the Beach!: Enough said.
So, Who Are These New Jaxsons?
While we don't have a crystal ball (yet), it's safe to say the new residents are a diverse bunch. Young professionals seeking career opportunities, families chasing sunshine and good schools, and retirees looking to trade their rocking chairs for kayaks – they all probably played a part in this migration mosh pit.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
But here's the real question: Did all these newcomers bring their alligators? Let's just say the kayak rental business is booming...
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
FAQ: How to Become a True Jaxson (Besides Moving Here in 2022)

- How to Dress for Success (Jax Edition): Flip-flops and shorts are your year-round uniform. Unless it dips below 70 degrees, then you might need a light jacket (don't worry, it won't last).
- How to Properly Greet a Gator: Don't. Just admire them from a safe distance. Seriously, these are wild animals, folks.
- How to Find the Best Brunch: Weekend brunching is a Jaxson religion. Explore the Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods for your mimosa fix.
- How to Become a Jags Fan: It's practically mandatory. Learn the fight song ("Duuuval!") and wear teal.
