Kingsburg city, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Kingsburg city is a mid-size town in California, with 12,589 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #442 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 41.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Kingsburg city earn a median of $82,562 a year, 5.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Kingsburg city is valued at $356,900, 17.6% above the national figure and 39% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,117 a month, 20.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,404 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 73.5% 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.
