Cherokee, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Cherokee CDP is a very small community in California, with 139 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1429 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 33.8 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 Cherokee CDP earn a median of not published a year. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 65.5% 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 Cherokee CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 51.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 139 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cherokee CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Cherokee 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.
