PA-to-Orlando demographic pattern
Central FL PA-source volume distinguishes itself from coastal patterns:
- The Villages retirees: Steady stream of Pittsburgh medical retirees, Central PA (Harrisburg, York, Lancaster) retirees, some Philadelphia-metro empty-nesters. Sumter County retirement community appeal to PA middle-class retirees prioritizing community/amenities over coastal lifestyle.
- Disney vacation-home owners: Philadelphia-metro families who own Reunion, Champions Gate, Kissimmee-area vacation properties. Car shipping enables longer stays (spring break weeks, summer visits) with own vehicle.
- Windermere/Dr. Phillips luxury: Some Vanguard/Main Line executives and Pittsburgh CMU tech founders in Golden Oak, Isleworth. Golf/lifestyle appeal.
- Corporate relocation (Lockheed Martin, Disney, Universal, UCF, Orlando Health): Job-move volume year-round.
