Port St. Joe, Florida has about 3,616 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $353,100.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Gulf County is $1,532 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Port St. Joe. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Florida's prices sit at 103.4 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

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