These led to the large-scale dispersal of Americans from the old population centers of the Northeast and Great Lakes to warmer climes in the South and West. While some moved to Los Angeles or Phoenix, many New Yorkers moved instead to Miami and many Midwesterners similarly moved to the Tampa Bay area.

Latin Americans of other nationalities later followed, seeking economic advantage.
