Holly Hill, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Holly Hill city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 13,002 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #295 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 45.2 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 Holly Hill city earn a median of $46,360 a year, 41% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 21.6% 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 Holly Hill city is valued at $168,600, 44.4% below the national figure and 45% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,277 a month, 9.2% below the national figure, or roughly $15,324 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33.1% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 57.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Holly Hill city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 33.1% of median income while homes cost only 3.6× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.
