Harlem Heights CDP, FL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Harlem Heights CDP is a small town in Florida, with 1,105 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #769 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 41.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Heights CDP earn a median of $63,911 a year, 18.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Harlem Heights CDP is valued at $190,800, 37.1% below the national figure and 38% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,435 a month, 2.1% above the national figure, or roughly $17,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.9% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 52.5% 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.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
