California Pines, CA population, income and ZIP codes

California Pines CDP is a very small community in California, with 359 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1289 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 34.6 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 California Pines CDP earn a median of $55,583 a year, 29.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 41.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in California Pines CDP is valued at $244,000, 19.6% below the national figure and 59% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 73.2% 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.

With 359 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare California Pines CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for California Pines CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
