ZIP code 32812

ZIP 32812 is a small city in Orange County, Florida, with 34,454 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #213 of 1,013 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 32812 earn a median of $74,245 a year, 5.5% 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 14.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 32812 is valued at $342,800, 13% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,561 a month, 11% above the national figure, or roughly $18,732 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

ZIP 32812 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 32812 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 32812 reports a median household income of $74,245, 12% below the $84,832 county median, and 6% above the $69,820 typical FL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $342,800, 3% below the county figure and 16% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,561 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 32812 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 32812 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 32812 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.
