Zellwood, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Zellwood CDP is a small town in Florida, with 2,484 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #640 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 65.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Zellwood CDP earn a median of $61,875 a year, 21.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Zellwood CDP is valued at $157,600, 48.1% below the national figure and 48% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.2% 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 65.6 puts Zellwood CDP 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Zellwood CDP 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.
