Homeland, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Homeland CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 6,060 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #610 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 33.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Homeland CDP earn a median of $54,863 a year, 30.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Homeland CDP is valued at $189,600, 37.5% below the national figure and 68% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,640 a month, 16.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,680 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 35.9% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.6% 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.

Homeland CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 35.9% of median income while homes cost only 3.5× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

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.
