Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Orlando, FL. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Orlando compares. Among the 120 largest places in Florida, Orlando is #4 by population, #116 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #22 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #31 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Orange County, is #8 of 67 counties for average pay ($67,805).
Orlando has 319,758 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 1.4% of the population of Florida. It covers 111 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,878 people per square mile. The median age is 35.1, 18% younger than the state median (35.1 against 42.6).
The median gross rent is $1,747 a month (rent plus utilities), 5% above the state median ($1,747 against $1,669). Over a year that is 29.0% 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 $394,100, which is 5.4 times the median household income ($72,336); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 39.5% of households own their home, 42% below the state average (39.5% against 67.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL metropolitan area has 1,411,730 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $46,630 a year, 9% below the national median ($46,630 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (173,110 jobs, median $44,730); food preparation and serving related (163,040 jobs, median $34,190); sales and related (150,550 jobs, median $36,780). The area is most specialised in arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media (1.6 times) and personal care and service (1.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($106,820) and computer and mathematical ($101,550). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Orange County was 4.2%. 72.2% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Orange County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 68.1% drive alone, 1.9% use public transit, 1.6% walk, 16.2% work from home. 12.0% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 34% below the state average (12.0% against 18.1%).
42.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 25% above the state share (42.5% against 34.1%). 25.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 16% above the state share (25.4% against 21.9%). The poverty rate is 14.7%, 17% above the state rate (14.7% against 12.6%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 81°F (27.4°C), and the coolest is Jan at 59°F (15.0°C). About 1,301 mm (51 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (208 mm) and Nov the driest (48 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.
Closest cities in this guide: Meadow Woods (5 miles, rent 9% higher); Alafaya (9 miles, rent 14% higher); St. Cloud (12 miles, rent 4% lower); Kissimmee (12 miles, rent 6% lower). Rent differences are against Orlando; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
