Venice, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Venice city is a small city in Florida, with 26,467 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #160 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 68.7 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 Venice city earn a median of $74,340 a year, 5.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Venice city is valued at $381,400, 25.7% above the national figure and 25% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,591 a month, 13.2% above the national figure, or roughly $19,092 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.7% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 80% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 68.7 puts Venice city 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.

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.
