Oroville East, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Oroville East CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 7,369 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #561 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 47 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Oroville East CDP earn a median of $86,932 a year, 10.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oroville East CDP is valued at $381,900, 25.9% above the national figure and 35% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,351 a month, 3.9% below the national figure, or roughly $16,212 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
