Port LaBelle CDP, FL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Port LaBelle CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 6,856 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #413 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 33.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Port LaBelle CDP earn a median of $53,648 a year, 31.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Port LaBelle CDP is valued at $214,600, 29.3% below the national figure and 30% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,017 a month, 27.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,204 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.7% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
