Boyes Hot Springs, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Boyes Hot Springs CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 7,031 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #579 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 40.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Boyes Hot Springs CDP earn a median of $89,568 a year, 14% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Boyes Hot Springs CDP is valued at $738,800, 143.5% above the national figure and 25% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,802 a month, 28.2% above the national figure, or roughly $21,624 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 8.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 60.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 8.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.
