Cost of Living Troubling to Many Residents of Florida

11 Nov 2025 11:30 AM | Anonymous

According to a survey released last week by Florida Atlantic University nearly 50% of those questioned have considered leaving Florida.


  • 90% of those surveyed are at least somewhat concerned about inflation; 56% are very concerned.

  • 80% are concerned about housing affordability, with 49% very concerned.

  • Nearly 50% say they’ve considered moving out of Florida due to cost of living.

We wonder what the results would show if those who participated were residents of the Florida Keys, or of Islamorada?


In Monroe County the median income is now $118.000 per year - the highest of all 67 counties in Florida. Result - in Islamorada a single person making $127,820 qualifies for affordable housing; family of 3 - $164,220.  These are not the incomes that are causing our valued workforce to head north. This is why “affordable housing” may be a misguided issue here. Click here for 2025 Village fact sheet.
