Highgrove, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Highgrove CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 7,164 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #571 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 31.7 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 Highgrove CDP earn a median of $109,657 a year, 39.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 20% above 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 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Highgrove CDP is valued at $594,400, 95.9% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,338 a month, 4.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,056 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 73.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

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.
