Port Richey city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Port Richey city is a small town in Florida, with 3,229 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #581 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 49.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Port Richey city earn a median of $45,435 a year, 42.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% 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 17.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Port Richey city is valued at $256,500, 15.5% below the national figure and 16% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $982 a month, 30.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,784 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.9% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
