Desert View Highlands, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Desert View Highlands CDP is a small town in California, with 3,389 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #760 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 35 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 Desert View Highlands CDP earn a median of $68,958 a year, 12.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. 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 1.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Desert View Highlands CDP is valued at $321,400, 5.9% above the national figure and 45% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,627 a month, 15.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,524 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.3% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 50% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
