Do most residents leave in the summer?

Beach Fanatic
In some parts of Florida the permanent residents tend to leave from around March until September, I am assuming because of the crowds and heat. Is this something that happens in SoWal? All I ever see is a significant increase in people but never really know who lives here versus somewhere else. And I promise to try to go a few days before starting another thread.
 
Crank 'em out. I haven't got the $ to leave for months at a time. Or the freedom to earn it from just anywhere.
 
Hm, well... I wouldn't say we have a whole lot of residents who leave during the summer.
I think that's probably more indicative of the southern portion of the state because of the high number of retirees. We pick up snowbirds through the off-season and then they leave, but I don't feel like we lose residents through the summer so much as the snowbirds go "home".
 
Wouldn't that be fun! Alas that's when the old job really roars into high gear. Seems like most people stay here year round.

How long have you lived in DFS?
 
Whenever I leave, it is to travel not because of the influx of tourists. I tend to travel more in the winter to escape the cold weather. I like our summer weather and summer tourists.
 
We do have a few, but they are few, who take extended vacations to Maine and other less hot and humid climates during the summer. I also have a couple of folks who move out for the summer if they can book enough rentals. So it does happen, but not very much.
 
Oh I did forget about our "side trips", but those generally occur when the entire population of sowal leaves.
