Sunset CDP, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sunset CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 13,652 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #277 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 47.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sunset CDP earn a median of $99,764 a year, 27% above the national figure of $78,538 and 45% above 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 11.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sunset CDP is valued at $537,500, 77.2% above the national figure and 76% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,894 a month, 34.7% above the national figure, or roughly $22,728 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
