Palmetto Estates CDP, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Palmetto Estates CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 16,587 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #239 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 41.6 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 Palmetto Estates CDP earn a median of $82,199 a year, 4.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Palmetto Estates CDP is valued at $412,200, 35.9% above the national figure and 35% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,015 a month, 43.3% above the national figure, or roughly $24,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.4% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 89.2% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
