Honcut, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Honcut CDP is a very small community in California, with 343 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1298 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 42.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Honcut CDP earn a median of $168,068 a year, 114% above the national figure of $78,538 and 84% above 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 42% 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 Honcut CDP is valued at $266,900, 12% below the national figure and 55% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,853 a month, 31.8% above the national figure, or roughly $22,236 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.2% 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 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 55.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 343 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Honcut CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
