Daytona Beach, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Daytona Beach city is a small city in Florida, with 75,924 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #47 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 39.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Daytona Beach city earn a median of $50,130 a year, 36.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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. Poverty reaches 21.2% 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 Daytona Beach city is valued at $244,300, 19.5% below the national figure and 20% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,239 a month, 11.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,868 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.7% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 46.4% 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.

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.
