Pahokee city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pahokee city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 5,539 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #449 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 40.5 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 Pahokee city earn a median of $50,464 a year, 35.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 27.4% 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 Pahokee city is valued at $137,500, 54.7% below the national figure and 55% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $912 a month, 35.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,944 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
