Indian River and St. Lucie were among Florida's top 10 counties for percentage increase in population growth during the initial year of the coronavirus pandemic, according to recently released data.
Using U.S. Census and Postal Service information, Bloomberg CityLab studied statistics of people moving in versus those moving out for metro areas between March 2020 and February 2021. It then compared results to the previous year.
Communities had to have had at least 1,000 move-ins and 1,000 move-outs during both years for consideration in the CityLab analysis, which was released last week.
Indian River County ranked fourth among Florida's 67 counties, with a 9% rise in inflow/outflow ratios. St. Lucie County was ninth, at 6.2%.
