Westlake, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Westlake city is a small town in Florida, with 2,876 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #612 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 38.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Westlake city earn a median of $140,000 a year, 78.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 104% 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 3.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westlake city is valued at $629,100, 107.4% above the national figure and 106% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 98.4% 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. 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Westlake city 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.
