Wright CDP, FL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wright CDP is a small city in Florida, with 27,233 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #153 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 35.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Wright CDP earn a median of $67,077 a year, 14.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wright CDP is valued at $270,700, 10.8% below the national figure and 11% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,419 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $17,028 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.4% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 54.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
