Redlands city, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Redlands city is a small city in California, with 72,985 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #122 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 35.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Redlands city earn a median of $99,158 a year, 26.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above 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 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Redlands city is valued at $583,000, 92.2% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,883 a month, 33.9% above the national figure, or roughly $22,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 57.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
