Orlando, Florida has about 319,758 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $394,100.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Orange County is $1,959 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Orlando. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

In the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL metro area, prices sit at 101.4 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.

Florida does not tax wages. A typical combined sales tax is 7.0% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Orlando's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical Florida home paid 15.03¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Orlando's bill.
