Once characterized by rural stretches and aging housing stock, the area now attracts young professionals, artists, and families drawn by affordable entry-point home prices and proximity to downtown. From 2010 to 2023, home values in Jacksonville’s Jax Fl zone rose by over 75%, outpacing the regional average and signaling strong demand. While median household incomes remain modest—hovering around $54,000, well below Jacksonville’s 2023 median of $62,800—home prices reflect both supply constraints and strategic investment.

Demographics reveal a diversifying community: census data shows a growing multicultural population, with Hispanic and African American communities expanding alongside long-standing Black neighborhoods. Meanwhile, younger transplants compose over 40% of this zip code’s new homeowners, seeking a balance between rural tranquility and urban access—proximity to I-95 and downtown Jacksonville less than 15 minutes separating daily life from city amenities.
