Silver Springs Shores East, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Silver Springs Shores East CDP is a small town in Florida, with 1,224 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #756 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 32.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Silver Springs Shores East CDP earn a median of $61,750 a year, 21.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 37% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silver Springs Shores East CDP is valued at $226,900, 25.2% below the national figure and 26% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,895 a month, 34.8% above the national figure, or roughly $22,740 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 36.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Silver Springs Shores East CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 36.8% of median income while homes cost only 3.7× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

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.
