Drytown, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Drytown CDP is a very small community in California, with 86 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1487 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 48.2 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 Drytown CDP earn a median of $250,001 a year, 218.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 174% 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 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Drytown CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 73.9% 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.

With 86 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Drytown CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Drytown CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
