Alford, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Alford town is a very small community in Florida, with 322 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #884 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 61.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Alford town earn a median of $46,009 a year, 41.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below 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 18.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alford town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $798 a month, 43.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 74.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 61.2 puts Alford town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 322 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Alford town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Alford town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
