As the aging baby boom generation moves into their retirement years, Florida remains a prime destination for active adults, according to real estate professionals around the state.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 76 million members of the baby boomers generation born between 1946 and 1964. As of 2007, the boomers range in age from 61 to 43 and comprise nearly 28 percent of the adult U.S. population. If only 5 percent of the boomers eventually retire to Florida, that alone would add 3.8 million new residents.
