Lauderhill

Broward County, Florida · part of the Miami, FL metro

FloridaLauderhill, FLLauderhillLauderhill

The short answer

Lauderhill is home to 74,896 people. Median household income is $51,165 a year and median rent is $1,684 a month, 39.5% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). That is above the usual 30% line for cost burden. The median home is valued at $272,900, about 5.3x annual median household income.

What sets Lauderhill apart is how tight household budgets are. After the median rent, with other prices set to the US average, the median household keeps about $29,300 a year, less than in 99% of places its size. Also notable: Housing became less affordable between 2019 and 2024: rent went from 35.6% to 39.5% of income.
