Silver Lakes CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Silver Lakes CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 5,789 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #623 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Silver Lakes CDP earn a median of $111,857 a year, 42.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silver Lakes CDP is valued at $345,600, 13.9% above the national figure and 41% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,585 a month, 12.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,020 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
