Inland Florida — cheaper insurance than the coasts.
Housing does NOT get cheaper: $220K statewide median vs $287K in Tallahassee. This move is about something other than cost.
Top marginal state income tax drops from 3.9% to 0% — on $150K of taxable income, roughly $5,850/yr back (marginal-rate approximation; your effective savings depend on brackets and deductions).
