Indian River Estates, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Indian River Estates CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 7,331 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #393 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 43 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Indian River Estates CDP earn a median of $54,563 a year, 30.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 21.8% 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 Indian River Estates CDP is valued at $238,000, 21.6% below the national figure and 22% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,177 a month, 54.8% above the national figure, or roughly $26,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 47.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 91.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
