How Jupiter compares. Among the 120 largest places in Florida, Jupiter is #62 by population, #112 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #9 for household income (#1 = highest), #13 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Palm Beach County, is #2 of 67 counties for average pay ($77,246).
Jupiter has 61,883 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.3% of the population of Florida. It covers 22 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,861 people per square mile. The median age is 47.5, 12% older than the state median (47.5 against 42.6).
The median gross rent is $2,381 a month (rent plus utilities), 43% above the state median ($2,381 against $1,669). Over a year that is 25.9% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $608,600, which is 5.5 times the median household income ($110,240); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 78.5% of households own their home, 16% above the state average (78.5% against 67.6%).

About 1,389 mm (55 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (206 mm) and Feb the driest (53 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
