Bal Harbour, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Bal Harbour village is a small town in Florida, with 3,021 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #598 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 49.9 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 Bal Harbour village earn a median of $91,061 a year, 15.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 33% 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 18% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bal Harbour village is valued at $1,277,200, 321% above the national figure and 318% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,734 a month, 94.5% above the national figure, or roughly $32,808 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 36% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 14×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 65.8% 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.

Home values sit at 14× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

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.
