Garden Acres CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Garden Acres CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 10,417 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #488 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 33 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Garden Acres CDP earn a median of $62,895 a year, 19.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Garden Acres CDP is valued at $318,400, 4.9% above the national figure and 46% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,304 a month, 7.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,648 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.9% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 54% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
