Lakeport city, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lakeport city is a mid-size town in California, with 5,085 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #655 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 42.6 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 Lakeport city earn a median of $59,294 a year, 24.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% 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 15.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lakeport city is valued at $327,600, 8% above the national figure and 44% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $976 a month, 30.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,712 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% 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 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71% 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.
