South Palm Beach is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of 1,462 people and just one neighborhood, South Palm Beach is the 410th largest community in Florida.
South Palm Beach home prices are not only among the most expensive in Florida, but South Palm Beach real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
South Palm Beach is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 97.63% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, South Palm Beach is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in South Palm Beach who work in sales jobs (38.26%), management occupations (15.83%), and business and financial occupations (9.10%).
Also of interest is that South Palm Beach has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 18.96% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Another notable thing is that South Palm Beach is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, South Palm Beach’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
South Palm Beach is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

If knowledge is power, South Palm Beach is a pretty powerful place. 50.25% of the adults in South Palm Beach have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns.
The per capita income in South Palm Beach in 2018 was $79,941, which is wealthy relative to Florida and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $319,764 for a family of four. However, South Palm Beach contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
