The 2020 Census recorded 80,380 residents across 16.16 square miles, with recent estimates near 81,435. The city was incorporated in 1920 and renamed from "Boynton" to "Boynton Beach" in 1941. Median household income was $71,378 (2023 ACS) and the median home value is roughly $351,100 (2024 estimate).
With 80,380 residents at the 2020 Census, Boynton Beach ranks among Palm Beach County's largest cities. Growth has continued since, with 2024 estimates around 81,435. The population is diverse and the housing mix matches it: condos, single-family homes, townhomes, active-adult communities, waterfront areas, and newer western neighborhoods. Because the city is large, demographics vary meaningfully by neighborhood, so citywide averages only tell part of the story.
Boynton Beach covers 16.16 square miles between Delray Beach to the south and Lake Worth Beach to the north. It stretches from coastal access on the east to suburban communities west of I-95, and the city is served by both Tri-Rail and Palm Tran, with easy reach to I-95 and Florida's Turnpike. East Boynton, central Boynton, and western Boynton can feel like very different places.
Median household income was $71,378 as of the 2023 American Community Survey, and the median home value is roughly $351,100 as of 2024 estimates. Housing spans a wide range: older east-side homes with decades of history, established mid-century neighborhoods, and newer planned communities in the west. Many homes have pools, screened patios, spas, and outdoor living areas.
Boynton Beach is bigger than both of its notable coastal neighbors to the north. Lake Worth Beach has 42,219 residents on 5.89 square miles, and Jupiter, at the county's north end, has 61,047 on 21.63 square miles. Boynton Beach packs more people onto less land than Jupiter, and its $71,378 median income sits between Lake Worth Beach's lower figures and Jupiter's $87,163. In short, it is the county's middle market: large, varied, and growing.
For pool leak detection, that variety is the defining statistic. The same service call can mean a 1970s east-side pool that has been resurfaced twice or a ten-year-old pool and spa in a western gated community. Age variation is exactly what makes documentation and methodical testing matter here.
Eighty thousand residents across sixteen square miles means Boynton Beach has just about every kind of pool South Florida builds, old, new, coastal, inland, patched, pristine. No two visits look alike.
That is why we never assume the leak based on the neighborhood. An older pool can be tight and a newer one can be leaking at a fitting. Every visit gets the same systematic testing, and the findings get documented before we leave.
