Meadow Oaks, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Meadow Oaks CDP is a small town in Florida, with 3,261 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #577 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 54.3 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 Meadow Oaks CDP earn a median of $57,944 a year, 26.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Meadow Oaks CDP is valued at $194,500, 35.9% below the national figure and 36% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,665 a month, 18.4% above the national figure, or roughly $19,980 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 34.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. 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. 89.5% 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.

Meadow Oaks CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 34.5% of median income while homes cost only 3.4× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. A median age of 54.3 puts Meadow Oaks CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

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.
