Here is another sad story for the US early retiree.

US snow bird numbers are going down because current ones are either dying or staying home due to medical issues. They are not being replaced by younger US citizens because they no longer have the luxury of a pension like prior US generations, a secured (future) Social Security, or covered health care that is guaranteed for a lifetime. Those are all huge issues for most US families to deal with.
I have my doubts that it is only local to Texas also. If anything Texas may be showing it's colors early because of the current age group there. Like someone once said to me "if you plan on snow birding in Texas, expect to age ten years."
As they say YMMV.
