ZIP code 34762

ZIP 34762 is a very small community in Lake County, Florida, with 580 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #931 of 1,013 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 31.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in ZIP 34762 earn a median of $80,601 a year, 2.6% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 34762 is valued at $271,000, 10.7% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 580 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 34762 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 34762 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 34762 is tabulated inside Lake County, Florida, one of 24 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,013 across Florida. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. 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 34762 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 34762 reports a median household income of $80,601, 18% above the $68,503 county median, and 15% above the $69,820 typical FL ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $271,000, close to the county figure and 8% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 34762 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 34762 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.
