Middletown CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Middletown CDP is a small town in California, with 1,659 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #936 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 40 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 Middletown CDP earn a median of $170,605 a year, 117.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 87% above 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% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Middletown CDP is valued at $481,900, 58.8% above the national figure and 18% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,197 a month, 56.3% above the national figure, or roughly $26,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.5% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
