Deerfield Beach city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Deerfield Beach city is a small city in Florida, with 86,742 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 43.7 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 Deerfield Beach city earn a median of $56,976 a year, 27.5% 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 16% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Deerfield Beach city is valued at $274,400, 9.6% below the national figure and 10% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,670 a month, 18.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,040 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 35.2% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
