Reasons Why People Move From Florida to Alaska
- Climate preferences: Alaska has a cooler climate with short summers of an average of 66℉ in July, unlike Florida’s hot and humid climate, mostly in July, accounting for 90℉. Alaska’s cold and slow winters and mild summers come off as more appealing to individuals who fancy winter sports and activities.
- A need to escape Florida’s crowded areas: As of 2024, Florida has a population of roughly 22.98 million people while Alaska has a smaller population of around 731,545 people, making it a quieter state for Florida residents looking for privacy, seclusion and less hectic lifestyle.
- High paying job opportunities in the oil and gas industry: Jobs in the oil and gas industry in Alaska offer higher salaries compared to jobs in similar industries in Florida. For example, the average salary in Florida’s oil and gas industry is significantly lower (with an average annual pay of approximately $50,624) compared to Alaska’s ($119,958 to $261,758) based on one’s specific role.
Pros and Cons of Moving from Florida to Alaska
Advantages of moving to Alaska:
- Alaska has no state income tax which contributes to a simpler tax filing process.
- There’s a Permanent Fund Dividend from Alaska’s oil revenues offered to residents to help reduce poverty. In 2023, the Permanent Fund Dividend per person was around $1,114.
- There is no state sales tax. This means that residents don’t pay an additional percentage on most purchases at the state level making everyday purchases more pocket friendly unlike Florida, which has a sales tax of 6%.
Disadvantages of moving to Alaska:
- Alaska has a high overall cost of living approximately 14% higher than Florida.
- Extremely cold winters with temperatures often dropping below -34 degrees Celsius in various areas.
- Some regions in Alaska like Anchorage experience heavy snowfall (an average of 188cm of snow annually), which hinders people from moving around easily.
- Longer periods of darkness in some areas during the winter. This may contribute to a Seasonal Affective Disorder which can affect one’s overall well being.

Moving Yourself vs. Hiring Moving Company
Choosing either a DIY move or hiring movers greatly determines how your move pans out. Doing it yourself involves heavy lifting, box labeling, renting a truck, packing the items yourself and ensuring that everything arrives at the desired location safely.

However, Hiring a moving company like ours offers a seamless moving process. We plan the move, offer insurance coverage for your items, provide packing solutions for all items, including fragile ones, handle the logistics complexities and ensure your items arrive at your destination safely and on time.
