I'm a Florida resident. I did some googling and many searches on our state department of health web site. About 15 minutes of searching found this:

https://www.flhealthcharts.gov/FLQUERY_New/Death/Count

If you play with the buttons you can find "Resident AADR per year", then de-select by county and you'll get total. My quick calc show that:

A ten-year (2010-2019) average death rate of 681 (rounded); 2020 is reported as 748, for a 10% excess mortality in 2020. 2021 figures not given.

I did similar calculations using raw deaths per year; I get 2020 having a 24% excess mortality and 2021 a 34% excess; the large difference in the 2020 figure may reflect changes in population, or other factors. But on this small data point, I would have to say all else equal, mortality jumped 10% in 2021. I doubt out State's population grew by 10%, no matter how many Blue refugees are moving here. I found some charts that suggest our annual population growth is in the 1% or slightly greater range.

Based on these admittedly provisional figures, I think we can safely say that Florida's excess deaths since 2019, even deflated 1% per year are still way about normal. I would speculate we're seeing 9% higher excess mortality than 2020, which is especially interesting when you consider that the "low-hanging fruit" would have been culled in 2020 early in the pandemic and that pretty much anyone who's going to be vaxxed had been so done in 2021. We know that the reported "Covid" deaths are unreliable, so that leaves the burning question: what is increasing the death rates? That question we dare not ask, much less speculate upon possible causes....
