Sutter CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Sutter CDP is a small town in California, with 2,671 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #830 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 43.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Sutter CDP earn a median of $94,375 a year, 20.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above 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 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Sutter CDP is valued at $373,600, 23.1% above the national figure and 37% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,360 a month, 3.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,320 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.3% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
