Corcoran city, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Corcoran city is a mid-size town in California, with 22,626 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #323 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 34.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Corcoran city earn a median of $55,909 a year, 28.8% 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 23.8% 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 Corcoran city is valued at $220,500, 27.3% below the national figure and 63% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,012 a month, 28% below the national figure, or roughly $12,144 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 50.5% 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.

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.
