Micco, Florida Population and Demographics

About 8,896 people live in Micco CDP, the Census Bureau area that stands in for unincorporated Micco in Brevard County, according to the ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates.

That Micco count is a survey estimate, not a head count: its margin of error is plus or minus 801, so the true 2020 to 2024 average for Micco CDP could sit anywhere from about 8,100 to 9,700 residents (ACS 2024 DP05, Micco CDP). The same Micco table splits the population into 4,831 women and 4,065 men, a 54.3 to 45.7 percent split in favor of women.

Micco is not a city, so no Micco city government publishes its own population. The Census Bureau describes a CDP as a statistical counterpart of an incorporated place, drawn for a settled community that is known by name but is not legally incorporated under state law (Census Bureau geography glossary). Every Micco number on this page is a Census figure for the CDP boundary, not for the 32976 ZIP Code or for Barefoot Bay alone.

Barefoot Bay is not a separate Census place: the Census Bureau 2020 list of Florida places names Micco CDP in Brevard County and has no Barefoot Bay entry (Census Bureau 2020 Florida place codes). The Census Bureau geocoder matches 625 Barefoot Blvd, the office of the Barefoot Bay Recreation District (Barefoot Bay Recreation District), to Micco CDP in Brevard County (Census geocoder result for 625 Barefoot Blvd), so that Barefoot Bay address is counted in the Micco totals.

Most Micco residents are of retirement age: the median age is 68.2 and 61.4 percent of Micco residents are aged 65 or over in the ACS 2020-2024 estimates.

The Micco age profile is steep at the top. The ACS counts 5,460 Micco residents aged 65 and over and only 423 under 18, which is 4.8 percent of the population; the median age estimate of 68.2 carries a margin of error of 1.4 years (ACS DP05 age table).

Going further up the age ladder, 72.8 percent of Micco residents are 60 or older, 2,483 Micco residents (27.9 percent) are 75 or older, and 670 are 85 or older (ACS 2024 S0101 age and sex, Micco CDP). In other words, more than one Micco resident in four is at least 75, and the 85 and over group alone outnumbers all Micco children under 18 combined.

The Micco age and retirement income guide breaks these bands down by five-year group and by sex, and compares them with Brevard County and Florida.

The median Micco household income was $45,794 in the ACS 2020-2024 estimates, and 74.0 percent of Micco households received Social Security income.

Work income is a minority source in Micco. Only 29.7 percent of Micco residents aged 16 and over were in the labor force, and per capita income was $35,662 (ACS 2024 DP03, Micco CDP). The 74.0 percent of Micco households with Social Security averaged $26,150 a year from it, and 43.5 percent of Micco households reported retirement income (same DP03 table).

The Micco age and retirement income guide covers Social Security, pension and Supplemental Security Income figures in detail, and the Micco CDP census profile compares Micco with Brevard County and Florida.

Most Micco housing is manufactured: the ACS 2020-2024 estimates count 4,600 mobile homes among 6,834 Micco housing units, 67.3 percent of the stock.

Owners dominate Micco. Of the occupied Micco homes, 91.9 percent were owner occupied, the median owner-occupied value was $172,600, and the median gross rent for the small Micco rental stock was $1,430 a month (ACS 2024 DP04 housing, Micco CDP).

Micco households are small. The ACS puts the number of Micco households at 5,156 with an average size of 1.73 people, and 16.9 percent of Micco adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher (ACS 2024 DP02 social characteristics, Micco CDP). Only 96 Micco households were married couples with children under 18 in the same estimates.

About one Micco home in four was vacant when surveyed, and most of those Micco homes were held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use rather than for sale or rent.

The ACS 2020-2024 estimates show 75.4 percent of Micco housing units occupied and 1,678 vacant (ACS DP04 occupancy). The vacancy detail table puts 1,187 of those Micco units in the seasonal, recreational or occasional use category, with a margin of error of plus or minus 278 (ACS 2024 B25004 vacancy status, Micco CDP).

The same vacancy table lists 89 Micco units for sale only, none for rent and 270 as other vacant (ACS B25004). The Micco seasonal residents guide explains the vacancy categories and what the 2020 Census counted in Micco.

Micco CDP has an estimated 1,314 civilian veterans, 15.5 percent of Micco civilian adults, in the ACS 2020-2024 estimates.

The Micco veteran estimate has a margin of error of plus or minus 277. The largest Micco veteran group by period of service is Vietnam War veterans, with 595 veterans or 45.3 percent of the Micco total (ACS 2024 S2101 veteran status, Micco CDP). The Micco veterans guide covers service periods, ages, income and disability status for that population, along with where Brevard County veterans go for claims help and care.

Four Micco demographics guides go deeper than this page: the Micco CDP census profile, the Micco age and retirement income guide, the Micco seasonal residents guide and the Micco veterans guide.

For services rather than statistics, the Brevard County guide covers county government services, and the Brevard County safety guide covers county safety and emergency services. The Palm Bay and Sebastian town guides cover those two cities, and the Florida topics library covers statewide subjects. Outside demographics, the Micco parks section covers Micco Park and the South Mainland Community Center and the Micco Scrub Sanctuary, and the Micco places section covers the South Mainland/Micco library. All Micco figures here are ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates for Micco CDP. Last verified: October 15, 2026, on the U.S. Census Bureau website.
