The six-ZIP comparison
The table uses Zillow’s smoothed ZORI series for all homes, including single-family residences, condominiums and multifamily rentals. Each percentage was calculated from observations in the same ZIP-level dataset, with August 31, 2026 as the latest available date.
| City and ZIP | August 2026 ZORI | Monthly change | Annual change | Three-year change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boca Raton 33432 | $3,121.02 | +0.01% | +2.95% | +11.24% |
| Boca Raton 33486 | $2,894.79 | +0.84% | +4.57% | +5.73% |
| Deerfield Beach 33441 | $2,566.00 | +0.45% | +3.23% | +8.50% |
| Boca Raton 33433 | $2,541.70 | +0.03% | +3.18% | +5.54% |

What changed in August
Five ZIP codes increased from July to August, although several moves were small enough for renters to treat them as broadly steady. Boca Raton 33432 rose just 0.01%, while 33433 rose 0.03%. Palm Coast 32137 increased 2.16%, and 32164 declined 1.03%, according to the same August ZORI series.
The split shows why a citywide label can conceal very different ZIP-level movement. Compare the ZIP attached to an actual home instead of assuming every rental in Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton or Palm Coast follows one citywide direction.
Deerfield Beach 33441 moved ahead of Boca 33433
A small gap with a clear direction
Deerfield Beach 33441 finished August at $2,566.00, compared with $2,541.70 in Boca Raton 33433. The difference was $24.30 per month, or $291.60 over twelve months if the gap stayed unchanged. Those values come from the August 2026 observations in Zillow’s ZIP-level rent file.
The lead is narrow and does not mean every Deerfield Beach home costs more than every rental in 33433. ZORI describes the typical market rate for a regional rental stock. An individual lease can sit above or below it because of home type, size, condition, furnishings, parking, association rules and exact location.
Three time horizons give a fuller picture
The monthly increase in 33441 was 0.45%, from $2,554.52 in July to $2,566.00 in August. The annual increase was 3.23%, from $2,485.80 in August 2025. Over three years, typical rent increased 8.50% from $2,364.91 in August 2023, all according to the Zillow series.
For a renter, the three-year figure gives more context for the pressure on rents. It shows that 33441’s current level did not come from one sudden August jump. The series has not moved upward in a straight line, either. It fell to $2,393.34 in April 2025 and stood at $2,432.47 in June 2026 before climbing to its August level.
Boca Raton has the widest local price spread
From 33433 to 33432
The three Boca Raton ZIP codes in this report span a $579.32 monthly range. August ZORI was $2,541.70 in 33433, $2,894.79 in 33486 and $3,121.02 in 33432, based on the August 2026 file.
A renter moving from the 33432 benchmark to the 33433 benchmark would reduce the comparison rent by $579.32 per month. The difference between 33432 and Deerfield Beach 33441 was $555.02. The gap between 33433 and 33441 was only $24.30.
33486 posted Boca’s fastest annual growth
Boca Raton 33486 had the city’s strongest year-over-year increase among the three ZIPs, rising 4.57% to $2,894.79. ZIP 33433 increased 3.18% annually, while 33432 increased 2.95%, according to Zillow’s ZIP series.
The ranking changes over the longer period. Boca Raton 33432 posted the largest three-year increase in the entire six-ZIP group, up 11.24% from $2,805.63 in August 2023. Its August 2026 monthly change was only 0.01%, so the latest reading was effectively flat after that longer climb.
Renters comparing Boca with nearby Deerfield should start with the ZIP, then look at the housing type. Our Boca Raton renter guides provide local context, but the asking rent, fees and lease terms on the specific home determine the actual budget.
Palm Coast moved in two directions
32164 declined while 32137 rose
Palm Coast had the sharpest monthly split in the report. ZIP 32164 declined 1.03% from $1,842.97 in July to $1,823.92 in August. ZIP 32137 rose 2.16% from $1,914.93 to $1,956.34 over the same period, based on Zillow’s monthly ZIP observations.
The resulting August gap was $132.42 per month. That is large enough to affect a search, though it does not mean every 32164 home offers better value. Palm Coast’s lettered sections, newer subdivisions, coastal areas and condominium communities do not offer identical housing.
The annual pattern is divided too
Compared with August 2025, 32164 decreased 0.44%, from $1,832.00 to $1,823.92. Meanwhile, 32137 increased 2.22% from $1,913.93 to $1,956.34. Over three years, the respective gains were 1.74% and 3.01%, according to the same Zillow dataset.
For someone able to live in either market, the dollar gap versus South Florida is substantial. Palm Coast 32137 sat $609.66 below Deerfield Beach 33441, while 32164 sat $742.08 below it. The difference may leave room for other priorities. Renters still need to decide whether Palm Coast’s geography works for their jobs, family routines and regular destinations before treating the lower rent as savings.
What the ZIP gaps mean for a renter’s budget
Turn the index into a working ceiling
ZORI is a benchmark, not a quote for a particular house, but it provides a sensible starting point. Set a maximum housing payment, subtract recurring fees that are not included in the advertised rent, and use the remaining amount as your rent ceiling.
For example, the reported difference between Deerfield Beach 33441 and Palm Coast 32164 was $742.08 per month in August. The difference between Deerfield Beach 33441 and Boca Raton 33433 was only $24.30. Expanding a South Florida search by one nearby ZIP may not change the benchmark much, while changing regions can alter the budget considerably.
Compare the complete lease cost
Before choosing between ZIP codes, put each candidate home into the same worksheet:
- Monthly base rent and any required recurring charge.
- Application, association or administrative costs disclosed for the home.
- Utilities assigned to the tenant under the lease.
- Parking, storage, pet and amenity charges, when applicable.
- Commute mileage, tolls and the number of required office trips.
- Up-front funds due before possession.
A lower advertised rent can lose its advantage once required charges or travel costs are added. A home slightly above a ZIP benchmark may still be the better fit if it removes a costly commute or includes services that another lease bills separately.
How to use this report during a rental search
A practical three-comparison rule
Compare the home with its own ZIP benchmark and with a nearby ZIP that fits the same routine. Then compare the full monthly cost instead of looking at rent alone. This keeps a $50 rent difference from distracting you from a much larger difference in transportation or mandatory fees.
When reviewing current rental homes, note the ZIP code before looking at the asking price. If you are considering Deerfield Beach, a home such as the 620 Parsons Way Retreat is in 33442, not 33441. The benchmark in this report is nearby market context rather than a direct valuation of that property.
Questions to ask before applying
- Is the quoted rent for an annual lease, and how long is the quoted price valid?
- Which recurring charges are mandatory in addition to rent?
- Does a condominium or homeowners association conduct a separate review?
- Which utilities and maintenance tasks belong to the tenant?
- What funds are due at application, approval and move-in?
- Is the exact home comparable in size and type to the broader ZIP rental stock?
Write the answers beside the ZORI benchmark. You do not need to negotiate every home down to the index. Use the comparison to understand why the home differs and whether those differences matter to you.
How Zillow’s rent index should be read
ZORI measures a typical asking rent
Zillow Research defines ZORI as a smoothed measure of the typical observed market-rate rent. It uses the mean of asking rents in the 35th-to-65th-percentile range and weights the observations to represent the broader rental housing stock, instead of only the homes currently advertised.
The ZORI methodology tracks asking-rent changes for the same rental units over time, adjusts for the composition of available inventory and applies a three-month moving average. Zillow publishes it at national, metropolitan, county, city and ZIP levels where sufficient data is available.
What it does not tell you
ZORI is not a median of every active listing, a record of signed lease prices or an estimate for a specific address. It does not say that a three-bedroom single-family home, a condominium and a small apartment should rent for the same amount simply because they share a ZIP code.
This report uses the smoothed, all-homes ZIP series. Its latest observation is August 31, 2026. Zillow can revise historical series as its data and methodology are updated, so readers checking the downloadable file later may encounter small differences.
A next step for Deerfield Beach renters
Build a ZIP-specific shortlist
Choose two or three realistic homes, record their ZIP codes and total required monthly charges, then compare each figure with the correct benchmark above. If one home is well above its ZIP’s typical rent, ask what accounts for the premium. If it is well below, confirm its condition, lease term, included services and required fees before assuming it is a bargain.
