La Riviera CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
La Riviera CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 11,503 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #460 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 34 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 La Riviera CDP earn a median of $91,111 a year, 16% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in La Riviera CDP is valued at $433,400, 42.8% above the national figure and 26% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,757 a month, 25% above the national figure, or roughly $21,084 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.1% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
