Newman city, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Newman city is a mid-size town in California, with 12,299 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #448 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 35.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Newman city earn a median of $75,344 a year, 4.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Newman city is valued at $381,900, 25.9% above the national figure and 35% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,227 a month, 12.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 74.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
