ZIP code 32805

ZIP 32805 is a mid-size town in Orange County, Florida, with 18,085 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #534 of 1,013 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 46.8 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 32805 earn a median of $39,425 a year, 49.8% below 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 21% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 32805 is valued at $226,100, 25.5% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,112 a month, 20.9% below the national figure, or roughly $13,344 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 46.6% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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 32805 is tabulated inside Orange County, Florida, one of 45 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 32805 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 32805 reports a median household income of $39,425, 54% below the $84,832 county median, and 44% below the $69,820 typical FL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $226,100, 36% below the county figure and 24% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,112 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 32805 carries 6.5% at the register, assembled from the Orlando jurisdiction stack: the Florida state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 32805 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.

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 32805 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.
