Ruskin CDP, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ruskin CDP is a small city in Florida, with 30,074 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #139 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 34 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 Ruskin CDP earn a median of $76,402 a year, 2.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ruskin CDP is valued at $278,300, 8.3% below the national figure and 9% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,593 a month, 13.3% above the national figure, or roughly $19,116 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.1% 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.
