Auburndale city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Auburndale city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 17,438 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #224 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 42 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Auburndale city earn a median of $68,267 a year, 13.1% 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. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table.
