Ocklawaha, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Ocklawaha CDP is a small town in Florida, with 1,966 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #687 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 41.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Ocklawaha CDP earn a median of $35,255 a year, 55.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 49% 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 18.6% 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 Ocklawaha CDP is valued at $184,600, 39.2% below the national figure and 40% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,402 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,824 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 47.7% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 66.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
