Nuevo, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Nuevo CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 6,737 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #591 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 32.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Nuevo CDP earn a median of $92,443 a year, 17.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nuevo CDP is valued at $507,200, 67.2% above the national figure and 14% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,552 a month, 10.4% above the national figure, or roughly $18,624 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 86.6% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
