In 1979, the median <br />household income in Indian River County was $15,370 compared to <br />$14,657 for the State of Florida. The median family income in <br />Indian River County was $18,053 compared to $17,280 in the State <br />in 1979. Thus, Indian River County has higher family and <br />household incomes than that of the State of Florida as a whole. <br />Table 5 shows the median household and family incomes by <br />municipality. <br />Median Family Median Household <br />Income Income <br />Unincorporated <br />Indian River Co. $18,053 $15,370 <br />Vero Beach $20,787 $16,296 <br />Fellsmere $23,075 $19,323 <br />Orchid $16,875 $14,375 <br />Indian River Shores $42,371 $36,439 <br />Sebastian $13,662 $12,469 <br />Although Indian River County is more affluent than the State as a <br />whole, the County's average income figures are inflated due to <br />certain areas in the County which are extremely affluent. It <br />should be noted that both the State's and County's income <br />statistics are lower than those for the United States. The median <br />family income in the United States was $19,684 in 1979. <br />
