Iron Horse, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Iron Horse CDP is a very small community in California, with 575 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1189 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Iron Horse CDP earn a median of $56,066 a year, 28.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% below 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Iron Horse CDP is valued at $195,500, 35.6% below the national figure and 67% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 76.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 575 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Iron Horse CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Iron Horse CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
