Southeast Arcadia, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Southeast Arcadia CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 7,247 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #398 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 35.7 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 Southeast Arcadia CDP earn a median of $53,532 a year, 31.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 24.1% 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 Southeast Arcadia CDP is valued at $127,500, 58% below the national figure and 58% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $935 a month, 33.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 64.2% 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.
