Perris city, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Perris city is a small city in California, with 79,349 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 31.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Perris city earn a median of $82,523 a year, 5.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Perris city is valued at $431,900, 42.4% above the national figure and 27% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,791 a month, 27.4% above the national figure, or roughly $21,492 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.7% 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.
