NEW YORK (77WABC) – A record number of New Yorkers left the state last month and moved to sunnier places in Florida.

The New York Post reports that close to 6,000 New Yorkers moved to the Sunshine state in August, the highest number ever recorded. In all, over 41,000 New Yorkers have moved to Florida over the last year.

Families that left cited New York’s high taxes and soaring crime rate as reasons for their departure from the Empire state.
