Beacon Square, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Beacon Square CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 7,643 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #381 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 47 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Beacon Square CDP earn a median of $52,598 a year, 33% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 15.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Beacon Square CDP is valued at $147,100, 51.5% below the national figure and 52% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,318 a month, 6.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,816 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.1% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Beacon Square CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 30.1% of median income while homes cost only 2.8× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

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.
