Huntington Park, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Huntington Park city is a small city in California, with 53,658 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #175 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Huntington Park city earn a median of $56,952 a year, 27.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% 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 17.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Huntington Park city is valued at $557,600, 83.8% above the national figure and 5% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,440 a month, 2.4% above the national figure, or roughly $17,280 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.3% 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 9.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 24.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

Home values sit at 9.8× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.
