Alturas, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Alturas CDP is a small town in Florida, with 3,866 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #539 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 35.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Alturas CDP earn a median of $68,955 a year, 12.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 14.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alturas CDP is valued at $164,500, 45.8% below the national figure and 46% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $941 a month, 33.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,292 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 83.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
