The Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metro has 2.8M residents (per 2024 ACS 5-year Estimates ), a 2024 median household income of $79K, median home value of $370K, median age of 38, and a 37% bachelor's-degree share among adults 25 and older. The analysis below clusters neighborhoods within the metro's urbanized areas, covering 2.0M of those 2.8M residents. The metro's wealth concentrates in southwest Orange County around the Butler chain of lakes near Windermere and Horizon West, with secondary nodes at Winter Park and near the University of Central Florida, while the lowest values run in a wedge west of downtown through Pine Hills and south toward Oak Ridge.
Median home value
The top neighborhood sits west of Winter Park at $761K, the lakeside city northeast of downtown that was founded as a resort community by northern business magnates in the late 19th century — more than double the metro median of $370K. The next leaders sit in southwest Orange County around the Butler chain of lakes : a cluster south of Lake Butler at $717K and one east of Lake Butler at $678K, surrounding the wealthy lakefront enclaves of Windermere and Isleworth. The area north of Horizon West , the fast-growing master-planned community directly north and west of Walt Disney World, reads $613K, and a cluster west of Orlando comes in at $522K.
The bottom of the home-value map sits west and northwest of downtown. The area east of Leesburg , in Lake County at the far northwest edge of the metro, reads $192K. Closer in, a cluster west of Orlando registers $222K, another west of Orlando $229K, the area north of Oak Ridge $229K, and south Pine Hills $234K — all roughly half the metro median.
Median household income
The area north of Horizon West tops the metro at $140K, well ahead of the field. Alafaya on the metro's east side, near the University of Central Florida, follows at $124K, the area west of Lake Mary at $124K, east of Lake Butler at $122K, and another cluster west of Orlando at $118K — a set of outer-suburban neighborhoods running well above the metro median of $79K.
The lowest-income neighborhoods sit west of downtown. A cluster west of Orlando reads $46K, the area north of Oak Ridge $47K, and east of Leesburg $47K. East of Pine Hills registers $54K and north of Kissimmee $54K, all near two-thirds of the metro median or below.
Median age
The oldest neighborhoods split between the metro's northwest edge and the affluent southwest. The area west of Wekiwa Springs tops the metro at 47, followed by east of Lake Butler at 46, east of Leesburg at 46, and south of Eustis at 46 — the Leesburg and Eustis clusters sitting in Lake County near the region's retirement growth. A cluster west of Orlando reads 45, all well above the metro median of 38.
The youngest neighborhoods sit near the University of Central Florida and west of downtown. The area just east of the University community, beside the UCF campus on the metro's east side, reads 28. A cluster west of Orlando reads 32, the area west of the University community 33, and south Pine Hills 33.
Adults 25+ with a bachelor's degree
A cluster west of Orlando tops the metro at 66%, followed by west of Winter Park at 64%, south of Lake Butler at 61%, Alafaya at 60%, and north of Horizon West at 57% — all far above the metro's 37% share.
The lowest shares sit in the same wedge west of downtown that anchors the bottom of the home-value and income maps. South Pine Hills reads 13%, west of Orlando 15%, east of Pine Hills 16%, north of Oak Ridge 18%, and west of Pine Castle 19%. Pine Hills is one of Central Florida's most prominent minority-majority communities , with large Caribbean and foreign-born populations.
Where the metrics overlap
The southwest leads across the board. The area north of Horizon West tops income ($140K) and ranks among the top five on home value ($613K) and education (57%); east of Lake Butler tops home value ($678K), income ($122K), and median age (46) at once, an older, wealthy belt around Windermere. West of Winter Park leads home value ($761K) and education (64%), and a cluster west of Orlando holds the metro's highest bachelor's share (66%) alongside a top-five home value ($522K).
On the bottom side, the wedge west of downtown stacks low values together. The area north of Oak Ridge sits at the floor of home value ($229K), income ($47K), and education (18%), and south Pine Hills anchors the bottom of home value ($234K), education (13%), and the young end of the age map (33). Age otherwise breaks from the wealth pattern: the oldest neighborhoods run from the Lake County retirement edge near Leesburg and Eustis to the wealthy Windermere area, while the youngest cluster around UCF regardless of income.
