El Sobrante (Riverside Co.), CA population, income and ZIP codes

El Sobrante CDP (Riverside County) is a mid-size town in California, with 13,206 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #430 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 40.2 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 El Sobrante CDP (Riverside County) earn a median of $160,331 a year, 104.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 76% 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 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in El Sobrante CDP (Riverside County) is valued at $749,300, 147% above the national figure and 27% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,954 a month, 110.1% above the national figure, or roughly $35,448 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.1% 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. 89.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

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.
