Kendall, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Kendall CDP is a small city in Florida, with 78,527 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #45 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 41.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Kendall CDP earn a median of $83,664 a year, 6.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kendall CDP is valued at $516,900, 70.4% above the national figure and 69% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,808 a month, 28.6% above the national figure, or roughly $21,696 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.9% 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 6.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 61.4% 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.

Home values sit at 6.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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.
