Orlando, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Orlando city is a mid-size city in Florida, with 311,732 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #4 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 35.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Orlando city earn a median of $69,268 a year, 11.8% 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 15.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orlando city is valued at $359,000, 18.3% above the national figure and 18% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,650 a month, 17.4% above the national figure, or roughly $19,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.6% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 39.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
