Aromas CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Aromas CDP is a small town in California, with 2,846 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #808 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 36.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Aromas CDP earn a median of $184,667 a year, 135.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 103% above the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Aromas CDP is valued at $925,800, 205.1% above the national figure and 57% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,155 a month, 53.3% above the national figure, or roughly $25,860 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
