Knightsen CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Knightsen CDP is a small town in California, with 2,018 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #901 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 38.7 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 Knightsen CDP earn a median of $173,564 a year, 121% above the national figure of $78,538 and 90% 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 1.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Knightsen CDP is valued at $861,100, 183.8% above the national figure and 46% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,194 a month, 56% above the national figure, or roughly $26,328 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% 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 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 93.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
