Alafaya, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Alafaya CDP is a small city in Florida, with 90,874 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #33 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 36.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Alafaya CDP earn a median of $98,289 a year, 25.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% above the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alafaya CDP is valued at $391,900, 29.2% above the national figure and 28% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,834 a month, 30.4% above the national figure, or roughly $22,008 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 65.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
