I see you have mentioned Tallahassee elsewhere. There is also the rest of the Panhandle, and the northeast (Atlantic side) where I live.
While the real estate market has definitely taken a hit (a much-needed correction), there still is an influx of oldsters up here.
For some people, Orlando is just too far away from the water.
I spent many, many years in Colorado (Boulder, Ft Collins, Denver.)
I don’t plan on ever shoveling April snow again.

I really haven’t look at the data, but the way you put it I don’t really see that retirees are moving there but as a aging of the population in those cities. The top two cities on the list (5-10 yrs) where where younger worker headed for jobs in tech, and bio/pharm fields and that might account for the biggest jumps in the Population. The website of Where to Retire might be a place to check data on retie trends. http://www.wheretoretire.com

I see the definition of retirement changing to working less instead of not working altogether. The status of our 401Ks may make working in our golden years a necessity. That being said, it will still have to have good golfing weather!
