Spring Valley Lake CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Spring Valley Lake CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 10,098 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #498 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 35.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Spring Valley Lake CDP earn a median of $93,040 a year, 18.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Spring Valley Lake CDP is valued at $439,500, 44.9% above the national figure and 25% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,264 a month, 61% above the national figure, or roughly $27,168 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.2% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 74.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
