What is the Median Household Income in Orlando, FL

Median household income is an indicator of the economic health of a community.  Unsurprisingly, regions with a higher median household income tend to have better educated residents and more job opportunities.  If you take a look at our what was the median household income of orlando in 2010MoveMap, you can see that income figures vary significantly for the Orlando metropolitan area, partly as a function of economics and partly due to simple geographic factors.  The Orlando area actually consists of the City of Orlando itself and series of satellite suburban municipalities.  These small cities are often called bedroom communities since many of their residents live in them, but work elsewhere; Orlando in this case.  This skews the earnings map a bit since people whose incomes are generated by working within the City of Orlando actually live elsewhere.  Because median household income is tallied based on where someone lives, many suburban communities have higher median incomes than Orlando itself, where the wages are actually earned.

The City of Orlando actually has a highly variable median income with some neighborhoods (particularly in North Orlando) being significantly more affluent than others within the city.  The MoveMap also shows that suburban municipalities to the north of Orlando such as Winter Springs, Longwood and Maitland all have fairly high median incomes across their entire municipal extent.  Likewise, municipalities south of Orlando with high, uniform yearly earnings include Windermere and Bell Isle.  Each city in central Florida is ranked below in terms of its average household income:
