Jacksonville city, FL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Jacksonville city is a major city in Florida, with 961,739 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it first of 955 ranked by population. The median age here is 36.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.
Households in Jacksonville city earn a median of $66,981 a year, 14.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Jacksonville city is valued at $266,100, 12.3% below the national figure and 13% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,375 a month, 2.2% below the national figure, or roughly $16,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.6% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 57.4% 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.
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.
