Herlong, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Herlong CDP is a very small community in California, with 329 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1307 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 28.8 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 Herlong CDP earn a median of $55,938 a year, 28.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below 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 17.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Herlong CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,083 a month, 23% below the national figure, or roughly $12,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 28.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 329 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Herlong CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Herlong 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.
