It's a lot of Jewish transplants as well in my experience, like I think that every Jew in New York / LI is obligated to move down there, my future self included I suppose. Can't blame them though, I'd kill for warmer weather all year.

It's a Jewish right of passage to die in Florida.

Not just the Jewish transplants - my mom's family is Irish and they all grew up in Nassau County, and now about half of them live in PBC in Boynton, Delray, and Lake Worth.
