Inverness Highlands South, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Inverness Highlands South CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 7,478 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #389 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 46.4 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 Inverness Highlands South CDP earn a median of $61,224 a year, 22% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Inverness Highlands South CDP is valued at $206,900, 31.8% below the national figure and 32% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,296 a month, 7.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,552 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.4% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.7% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
