Archer, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Archer city is a very small community in Florida, with 885 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #794 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 43.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Archer city earn a median of $50,893 a year, 35.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 29.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Archer city is valued at $161,900, 46.6% below the national figure and 47% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $692 a month, 50.8% below the national figure, or roughly $8,304 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.8% 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.

With 885 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Archer city against its county rather than against national figures.
