The population of Lake Hamilton City is made up of both natives and foreign-born people. The median age was 39.1 years in 2019 - the same as it was in 2012. The average age was forty in 2018. There were a number of significant differences among the sexes and ancestry groups, too. The majority of residents were born in Cuba or Haiti, which represented a quarter of the city's total foreign-born population.
The northwest and southwest parts of Lake Hamilton are the safest areas to live. Those living in the northwest part of the city may be more susceptible to violent crimes, although the rate in those neighborhoods is significantly lower than in other parts of the city. While the rate may be higher in areas near parks, there is not necessarily any evidence to suggest that a particular neighborhood is more dangerous than another. Crime does happen wherever people congregate.
The United States Census Bureau uses census data to calculate population estimates. The data are re-based for significant changes in population. This makes them particularly useful in predicting housing affordability in a city. Compared to other cities in Florida, Lake Hamilton has the lowest rent burden in the country. However, neighboring cities like Kathleen and Howey-in-the-Hills have significantly higher rent burdens.
