Diamond Springs, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Diamond Springs CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 12,642 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #441 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 43.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Diamond Springs CDP earn a median of $83,288 a year, 6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Diamond Springs CDP is valued at $409,000, 34.8% above the national figure and 31% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,644 a month, 16.9% above the national figure, or roughly $19,728 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.3% 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.

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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
