Harlem CDP, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Harlem CDP is a small town in Florida, with 3,050 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #592 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 33 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Harlem CDP earn a median of $44,960 a year, 42.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Harlem CDP is valued at $72,000, 76.3% below the national figure and 76% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $897 a month, 36.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,764 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.9% 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 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 40.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
