Lockeford CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lockeford CDP is a small town in California, with 3,902 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #711 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 42 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Lockeford CDP earn a median of $93,438 a year, 19% above the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lockeford CDP is valued at $450,400, 48.5% above the national figure and 24% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,240 a month, 11.8% below the national figure, or roughly $14,880 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 81.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
