Golden Glades, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Golden Glades CDP is a small city in Florida, with 35,042 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #123 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Golden Glades CDP earn a median of $49,932 a year, 36.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 21.9% 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 Golden Glades CDP is valued at $346,900, 14.3% above the national figure and 14% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,444 a month, 2.7% above the national figure, or roughly $17,328 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 34.7% 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 6.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 52% 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.

Home values sit at 6.9× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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.
