Lake Kathryn, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Lake Kathryn CDP is a very small community in Florida, with 797 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #807 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 49.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Lake Kathryn CDP earn a median of $51,223 a year, 34.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 15.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lake Kathryn CDP is valued at $94,900, 68.7% below the national figure and 69% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,005 a month, 28.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,060 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.5% 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 1.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 83.9% 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.
