Denair, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Denair CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 5,085 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #654 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 59% 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 Denair CDP earn a median of $97,468 a year, 24.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% above 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 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Denair CDP is valued at $407,800, 34.4% above the national figure and 31% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,372 a month, 2.4% below the national figure, or roughly $16,464 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.8% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
