Carmet, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Carmet CDP is a very small community in California, with 65 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1508 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 72.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Carmet CDP earn a median of $90,968 a year, 15.8% 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. 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Carmet CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 44.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 72.1 puts Carmet CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 65 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Carmet CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Carmet 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.
