Niceville city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Niceville city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 16,043 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #246 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 39.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Niceville city earn a median of $96,611 a year, 23% above the national figure of $78,538 and 41% above 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Niceville city is valued at $381,700, 25.8% above the national figure and 25% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,579 a month, 12.3% above the national figure, or roughly $18,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
