Monson, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Monson CDP is a very small community in California, with 204 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1374 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 26.5 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 Monson CDP earn a median of $61,063 a year, 22.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Monson CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,477 a month, 5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 37.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 26.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 204 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Monson CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Monson 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.
