Springfield, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Springfield city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 8,157 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #374 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 41.9 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 Springfield city earn a median of $51,640 a year, 34.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 17.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Springfield city is valued at $177,500, 41.5% below the national figure and 42% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,329 a month, 5.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.9% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.6% 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.

Springfield city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 30.9% of median income while homes cost only 3.4× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
