Los Olivos, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Los Olivos CDP is a very small community in California, with 939 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1075 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 54.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Los Olivos CDP earn a median of $140,968 a year, 79.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 55% above the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Los Olivos CDP is valued at $1,373,000, 352.5% above the national figure and 133% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 9.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 85.7% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 9.7× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. A median age of 54.2 puts Los Olivos CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld gross rent for Los Olivos 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.
