ZIP code 32514

ZIP 32514 is a small city in Escambia County, Florida, with 43,072 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #125 of 1,013 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 34.9 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 ZIP 32514 earn a median of $66,484 a year, 15.3% below the national figure of $78,538. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 13.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 32514 is valued at $241,300, 20.5% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,358 a month, 3.4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,296 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.

ZIP 32514 is tabulated inside Escambia County, Florida, one of 19 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,013 across Florida. This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 32514 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 32514 reports a median household income of $66,484, close to the $67,016 county median, and 5% below the $69,820 typical FL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $241,300, 5% above the county figure and 18% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,358 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Florida charges 6% statewide, and local governments overlapping 32514 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 32514 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
