Brooksville, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Brooksville city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 9,235 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #354 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 52.4 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 Brooksville city earn a median of $47,796 a year, 39.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 22% 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 Brooksville city is valued at $112,400, 63% below the national figure and 63% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,070 a month, 23.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 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. 62.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 52.4 puts Brooksville city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
