Bostonia CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bostonia CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 16,545 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #390 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 34.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Bostonia CDP earn a median of $73,549 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. 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 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bostonia CDP is valued at $435,900, 43.7% above the national figure and 26% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,932 a month, 37.4% above the national figure, or roughly $23,184 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 42.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
