ZIP 32779 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 32779 is a small city in Seminole County, Florida, with 29,106 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #305 of 1,013 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 46.6 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 ZIP 32779 earn a median of $115,931 a year, 47.6% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 4.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 32779 is valued at $458,700, 51.2% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,925 a month, 36.9% above the national figure, or roughly $23,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 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. 80.6% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.

Reading ZIP 32779 in context

How 32779 sits inside Seminole County and Florida.

ZIP 32779 is tabulated inside Seminole County, Florida, one of 14 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,013 across Florida. This is a mid-sized suburban ZIP inside a county that is split across many delivery areas. 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 32779 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 32779 reports a median household income of $115,931, 45% above the $79,874 county median, and 66% above the $69,820 typical FL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $458,700, 32% above the county figure and 55% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,925 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 32779 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 32779 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.
