Fairbanks Ranch, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Fairbanks Ranch CDP is a small town in California, with 2,794 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #812 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 43.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Fairbanks Ranch 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. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairbanks Ranch CDP is valued at $2,000,001, 559.2% above the national figure and 239% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 92.1% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 8× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

The Census withheld gross rent for Fairbanks Ranch 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.
