Fairmead CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fairmead CDP is a small town in California, with 1,119 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1032 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 31.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Fairmead CDP earn a median of $44,375 a year, 43.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 51% below 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 28.1% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairmead CDP is valued at $220,700, 27.3% below the national figure and 63% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,221 a month, 13.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,652 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.6% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
