Tamarac, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Tamarac city is a small city in Florida, with 71,887 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #50 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 47.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Tamarac city earn a median of $59,216 a year, 24.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tamarac city is valued at $259,100, 14.6% below the national figure and 15% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,791 a month, 27.4% above the national figure, or roughly $21,492 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 36.3% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 76.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
