Lemon Cove, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Lemon Cove CDP is a very small community in California, with 441 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1244 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 32.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Lemon Cove CDP earn a median of $58,869 a year, 25% 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 52.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lemon Cove CDP is valued at $272,000, 10.3% below the national figure and 54% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.3% 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 441 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lemon Cove CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Lemon Cove 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.
