Palm Shores, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Palm Shores town is a small town in Florida, with 1,479 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #731 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 44.4 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 Palm Shores town earn a median of $86,563 a year, 10.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 5.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Palm Shores town is valued at $341,800, 12.7% above the national figure and 12% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,050 a month, 25.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,600 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.6% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
