I'm not sure I would call Florida geographically advantaged although a lot of people actually like it. (My understanding is taxes also make it attractive to retirees and second home owners.) Lot of growth in the desert Southwest (Arizona, Nevada) and Texas. It's mostly the Midwest that is conspicuously lacking. [1] https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2018/estimate...

Florida (especially south Florida) is very advantageous if you're doing business in the Caribbean area or Central America, maybe even South America.

It's also very nice if you like beaches and the ocean, and don't mind playing dodgeball with hurricanes every few years.
