Clear Creek CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Clear Creek CDP is a very small community in California, with 273 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1332 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 48.1 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 Clear Creek CDP earn a median of $48,417 a year, 38.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 47% below 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clear Creek CDP is valued at $231,900, 23.6% below the national figure and 61% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,110 a month, 21.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,320 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.5% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
