Princeton CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Princeton CDP is a very small community in California, with 422 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1257 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Princeton CDP earn a median of $73,958 a year, 5.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 17.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Princeton CDP is valued at $405,600, 33.7% above the national figure and 31% 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 19.9% 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 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
