Seeley CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Seeley CDP is a small town in California, with 1,654 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #940 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 29.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Seeley CDP earn a median of $56,917 a year, 27.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% 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 23% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Seeley CDP is valued at $186,200, 38.6% below the national figure and 68% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,066 a month, 24.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,792 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.5% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
A median age of 29.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
