Dunedin city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dunedin city is a small city in Florida, with 36,060 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #115 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 57.9 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 Dunedin city earn a median of $68,068 a year, 13.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dunedin city is valued at $341,700, 12.6% above the national figure and 12% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,523 a month, 8.3% above the national figure, or roughly $18,276 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.8% 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 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.6% 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.

A median age of 57.9 puts Dunedin 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.
