Mount Dora city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mount Dora city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 16,812 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #234 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 48.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Mount Dora city earn a median of $69,931 a year, 11% 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. 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 15.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Dora city is valued at $316,100, 4.2% above the national figure and 4% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,500 a month, 6.7% above the national figure, or roughly $18,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.7% 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
