Steinhatchee, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Steinhatchee CDP is a very small community in Florida, with 770 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #814 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 14% of them. The median age here is 63 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Steinhatchee CDP earn a median of $48,208 a year, 38.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Steinhatchee CDP is valued at $255,600, 15.8% below the national figure and 16% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 94.7% 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.

A median age of 63 puts Steinhatchee CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 770 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Steinhatchee CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Steinhatchee CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
