Brooktrails CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Brooktrails CDP is a small town in California, with 4,394 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #690 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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 Brooktrails CDP earn a median of $120,099 a year, 52.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% above 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 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Brooktrails CDP is valued at $382,000, 25.9% above the national figure and 35% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,443 a month, 2.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
