Montgomery Creek, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Montgomery Creek CDP is a very small community in California, with 227 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1358 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 64 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 Montgomery Creek CDP earn a median of $36,563 a year, 53.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 60% below 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Montgomery Creek CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 81.1% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 64 puts Montgomery Creek 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. With 227 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Montgomery Creek CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Montgomery Creek 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.
