Zephyrhills city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Zephyrhills city is a mid-size town in Florida, with 18,471 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #219 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 48.9 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 Zephyrhills city earn a median of $49,295 a year, 37.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below 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 13% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Zephyrhills city is valued at $191,700, 36.8% below the national figure and 37% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,034 a month, 26.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,408 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.2% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
