Carrabelle city, FL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Carrabelle city is a small town in Florida, with 3,145 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #586 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 41.6 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 Carrabelle city earn a median of $57,143 a year, 27.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 11.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Carrabelle city is valued at $149,600, 50.7% below the national figure and 51% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,231 a month, 12.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.9% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.2% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
