Good Hope, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Good Hope CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 8,315 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #530 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 32.2 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 Good Hope CDP earn a median of $56,328 a year, 28.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% 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 27.6% 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 Good Hope CDP is valued at $319,600, 5.3% above the national figure and 46% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,451 a month, 3.2% above the national figure, or roughly $17,412 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.9% 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 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 51% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
