ZIP code 33012

ZIP 33012 is a small city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, with 69,408 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #14 of 1,013 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 48.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in ZIP 33012 earn a median of $45,818 a year, 41.7% 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 18.8% 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 33012 is valued at $355,600, 17.2% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,562 a month, 11.1% above the national figure, or roughly $18,744 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 40.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 7.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 47.9% 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.

Home values sit at 7.8× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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 33012 is tabulated inside Miami-Dade County, Florida, one of 80 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 33012 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 33012 reports a median household income of $45,818, 37% below the $72,564 county median, and 34% below the $69,820 typical FL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $355,600, 16% below the county figure and 20% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,562 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 33012 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 33012 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.
