Florida, in the facts.
Explore the same ten topics as the national facts, with Florida history, primary sources, and a state comparison in each data section.
Each ranking uses the same measure and period across states. #1 is the highest value, and ties share a rank. Where a measure cannot support a state comparison, the page explains why. Prices use BEA state price comparisons; budget figures describe state government.
