Ione city, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ione city is a mid-size town in California, with 5,306 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #644 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 36.9 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 Ione city earn a median of $78,661 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 14% below 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 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ione city is valued at $448,300, 47.8% above the national figure and 24% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,477 a month, 5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 74.3% 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.
