For the first time since 2001, Florida is back on top as American’s most desired state to live. When asked where they would most like to live (not including their current state), Florida landed at the top of the list. Overall, sunshine and waterfront acreage were consistent themes among the most popular states, with California (2), and Hawaii (3) rounding out the top three. However, non-beach states of Colorado and New York were in the top five. The Harris Poll surveyed 2,232 U.S. adults to compile this information.
