Sarasota Springs, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Sarasota Springs CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 12,669 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #299 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 39.6 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 Sarasota Springs CDP earn a median of $89,646 a year, 14.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sarasota Springs CDP is valued at $310,400, 2.3% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,050 a month, 45.8% above the national figure, or roughly $24,600 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.4% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
