Lauderdale Lakes, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Lauderdale Lakes city is a small city in Florida, with 35,924 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #117 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 36.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Lauderdale Lakes city earn a median of $44,333 a year, 43.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% below 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 23% 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 Lauderdale Lakes city is valued at $203,100, 33.1% below the national figure and 33% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,518 a month, 8% above the national figure, or roughly $18,216 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 41.1% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 47.2% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
