Santa Nella, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Santa Nella CDP is a small town in California, with 1,686 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #932 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 37.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Santa Nella CDP earn a median of $87,375 a year, 11.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Santa Nella CDP is valued at $467,300, 54% above the national figure and 21% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $927 a month, 34.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.7% 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 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 55.6% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
