Abstract
Using data from Florida, the most significant destination for Sunbelt retirees, three hypotheses concerning the political impact of retirement migration on the Sunbelt were tested. Surveys of local government officials and socioeconomic data about local government regarding 103 municipalities and 62 counties suggested that aging persons, although politically active, are seldom involved in organized advocacy or political opposition to local policies that are largely beneficial to other interests.Keywords
