Biggs, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Biggs city is a small town in California, with 2,254 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #871 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 27.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Biggs city earn a median of $73,542 a year, 6.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Biggs city is valued at $301,800, essentially level with the national figure and 49% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,475 a month, 4.9% above the national figure, or roughly $17,700 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.1% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 27.3 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
