Apple Valley town, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Apple Valley town is a small city in California, with 75,478 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #121 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 35.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.
Households in Apple Valley town earn a median of $65,926 a year, 16.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 17.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Apple Valley town is valued at $377,300, 24.4% above the national figure and 36% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,373 a month, 2.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,476 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
