ZIP code 32811

ZIP 32811 is a small city in Orange County, Florida, with 40,560 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #142 of 1,013 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 31.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 32811 earn a median of $52,124 a year, 33.6% 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 19.9% 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 32811 is valued at $199,100, 34.4% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,483 a month, 5.5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,796 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 34.1% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 33.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

ZIP 32811 is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 34.1% of median income while homes cost only 3.8× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

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.

ZIP 32811 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 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 32811 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 32811 reports a median household income of $52,124, 39% below the $84,832 county median, and 25% below the $69,820 typical FL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $199,100, 44% below the county figure and 33% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,483 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 32811 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 32811 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 32811 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.
