Tallahassee Population by ZIP Code

From the student blocks of 32304 to the Lake Jackson side of 32312, ten Leon County ZIP codes in Census numbers: population, age, income and home value.

Short answer: Tallahassee's ZIP codes split sharply by age and income. In the Census Bureau's ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, 32304, home to the Tallahassee State College main campus, is the most populous (51,673) and youngest (median age 22.0), with a median household income of $32,348. The northern and eastern ZIPs 32317, 32312 and 32309 have median incomes above $113,000 and median ages in the 40s. Downtown 32301 has 32,017 residents.

Which Tallahassee ZIP codes have the most people?

ZIP codes 32304 and 32303, on either side of downtown, hold the most people, with 51,673 and 49,785 residents in the ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates.

The Census Bureau profiles for each ZIP Code Tabulation Area, linked in the table below, give the counts. After the two largest come 32309 with 33,544 residents, 32312 with 32,216 and 32301, the downtown ZIP, with 32,017. Smaller counts belong to 32308 (24,406), 32311 (21,905), 32305 (19,384), 32310 (14,888) and 32317 (14,654).

3231714,65445.1$128,6902.1%$369,800

Added together, those ten ZIP Code Tabulation Areas hold about 294,000 people, close to the Leon County total of 297,542 in the same survey, though ZIP lines do not have to follow the county or city limits. The two university ZIPs, 32306 for Florida State University and 32307 for FAMU at 1601 S. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, are campus mailing codes and are not among the ten residential profiles here.

Why does 32304 look so different from the rest of Tallahassee?

Students make 32304 different: its median age is 22.0, and nearly half its residents lived at a different address a year earlier.

Tallahassee State College, the former Tallahassee Community College, states on its Prosperity 32304 page that its main campus is located in the 32304 zip code. The 32304 demographic profile gives a median age of 22.0, and the 32304 social profile shows that 49.1% of residents age 1 and over lived in a different house a year earlier.

Those are student numbers, and they pull the income figures down with them. The 32304 economic profile puts the median household income at $32,348 and the poverty rate at 48.7%, the highest of the ten Tallahassee ZIPs on this page, and the housing profile gives a median owner home value of $150,900.

Tallahassee State College describes 32304 as Florida's most underserved ZIP code and runs its Prosperity 32304 initiative with community groups, local businesses and the Florida Chamber of Commerce. The college's own figures, which use earlier data years than the 2020-2024 survey, report that 95.7% of the 19,780 employees living in 32304 work in Leon County and that 682 companies list a physical or tax address in the ZIP.

What do downtown 32301 and the near north side 32303 show?

Downtown Tallahassee's 32301 mixes the government district with older neighborhoods, while 32303 on the near north side sits close to the citywide middle.

32301 holds Leon County's Office of Library Services at 200 West Park Avenue and two city neighborhood centers with deep roots. The Lincoln Neighborhood Service Center at 438 West Brevard Street stands on the Lincoln High School site, and the City of Tallahassee says the school served as the primary public education center for Leon County's African-Americans from 1869 to 1970. The Smith-Williams Service Center at 2295 Pasco Street, dedicated on October 11, 1981, serves the Greater Bond and Southside communities.

The Tallahassee 32301 profiles reflect that mix of government district, student blocks and long-settled neighborhoods: a median age of 29.8 in the demographic profile, a median household income of $50,942, a poverty rate of 25.2% and a median home value of $226,700. In the 32301 social profile, 46.2% of adults 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, and 28.9% of residents lived in a different house a year earlier.

32303 covers Tallahassee's near north side. The City's Lafayette Park Arts & Crafts Center at 501 Ingleside Avenue is one 32303 address. Here the numbers settle toward the middle: a median age of 32.3 (32303 profile), a median household income of $62,275, a poverty rate of 17.8% and a median home value of $228,000. Because it holds nearly 50,000 people, 32303 is close to a statistical portrait of Tallahassee itself.

Which Tallahassee ZIP codes have the highest incomes?

The north and east suburban ZIPs 32317, 32312 and 32309 have the highest median household incomes in Tallahassee, all above $113,000.

In the ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, the 32317 economic profile reports a median household income of $128,690 and a poverty rate of 2.1%, the lowest of the ten ZIPs, with a median age of 45.1. The 32312 profile shows $123,032 and the highest median home value of the ten at $432,100, and 32309 shows $113,412, with a home value of $376,000.

32312 runs north to the city's Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park at 4600 North Meridian Road, which the City describes as a 670 acre tract on the eastern shore of Lake Jackson, purchased in October 1992. The 32312 social profile shows 61.6% of adults 25 and over with a bachelor's degree or higher, and the ZIP's median age is 44.3.

These are settled households. In the 32309 social profile only 5.9% of residents lived in a different house a year earlier, against 49.1% in 32304. 32308, closer in, is the bridge between the two: median age 42.3, median household income $77,967, home value $328,000, and 56.3% of adults with a bachelor's degree or higher in its social profile. ZIP 32311 on the southeast side, home to the city's Lafayette Heritage Trail Park and its paddling trail from Piney Z Lake into Lower Lake Lafayette, has a median household income of $81,243 and a median home value of $321,600.

What about the south and southwest ZIPs, 32305 and 32310?

Tallahassee's south and southwest ZIPs, 32305 and 32310, have lower incomes and home values than the north side, and 32310 has the second highest poverty rate of the ten.

The City's Jake Gaither Community Center at 801 Bragg Drive is a 32305 address in Tallahassee. The 32305 profile shows 19,384 residents, a median age of 37.7, a median household income of $48,045 and a poverty rate of 21.0%, and the 32305 social profile shows 19.6% of adults 25 and over with a bachelor's degree or higher.

32310 is the southwest ZIP, home to Tallahassee International Airport at 3300 Capital Circle SW. It has 14,888 residents, a median age of 31.5 and a median household income of $38,288 in the 32310 economic profile. Its poverty rate of 30.8% is second only to 32304, and its median home value of $132,200 is the lowest of the ten Tallahassee ZIPs on this page.

Read together, the Tallahassee ZIP figures show a city split along a familiar line: younger and lower-income households in the student ZIP and on the south and southwest sides, older and higher-income households in the north and east.

How should ZIP code statistics for Tallahassee be read?

Tallahassee ZIP code statistics describe Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate postal ZIP Codes but are not the same thing.

For Tallahassee as anywhere, the U.S. Census Bureau explains that the ZIP Code, first introduced in 1963, is a trademark of the Postal Service created to coordinate mail handling and delivery, while ZCTAs are generalized areal representations of ZIP Codes built from 2020 Census tabulation blocks. For blocks that contain housing units, the ZCTA represents the ZIP Code associated with the most addresses in that block, and not all valid ZIP Codes are represented by a ZCTA.

The figures on this page come from the American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates. In student-heavy Tallahassee ZIPs such as 32304 and 32301, household income and poverty figures include students living on their own, so those numbers describe a different kind of household than the same figures in 32312 or 32317.

Last verified: October 18, 2026, against the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 ACS profiles for ten Tallahassee ZCTAs and Leon County, the Census ZCTA guidance, Tallahassee State College's Prosperity 32304 page and the City of Tallahassee and Leon County facility pages named above.

Digital Towns uses AI assistance to research and write its guides, and every page is only as good as the sources it cites. Our goal is the most accurate, useful local information possible.

This page was fact-checked twice before publishing.

If you see an error, or anything you can show is false, tell us right away and we will take a third look.
