Fla may not have a state tax, but what are the property and sales taxes there? How much does it cost to insure your home and car? What does your kind of real estate sell for? etc, etc
Texas has no state tax either, but the property and sales taxes are VERY high compared to New Mexico ... New Mexico is MUCH less expensive than Texas, even though we have state income tax, sales tax and property tax.
You have to do more research than simply stating there is no state income tax if you want the true picture of value.

Property taxes depend on the county. Insurance depends on where you live too. There are cost of living calculators that will index different cities. Florida is relatively cheap compared to the rest of the nation. State income tax plays into this becasue it means that prices can be several percent lower than in other states and a business can make the same money.
