University (Orange Co.), FL population, income and ZIP codes

University CDP (Orange County) is a small city in Florida, with 42,481 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #97 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 20.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 University CDP (Orange County) earn a median of $59,322 a year, 24.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% 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 25% 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 University CDP (Orange County) is valued at $275,300, 9.3% below the national figure and 10% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,393 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,716 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.2% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 37.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 20.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

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.
