Safety Harbor city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Safety Harbor city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 17,040 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #232 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 49.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Safety Harbor city earn a median of $105,813 a year, 34.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 54% above 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Safety Harbor city is valued at $433,300, 42.8% above the national figure and 42% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,719 a month, 22.3% above the national figure, or roughly $20,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 84.2% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
