Temescal Valley, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Temescal Valley CDP is a small city in California, with 28,560 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #279 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 39.6 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 Temescal Valley CDP earn a median of $119,647 a year, 52.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 6.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Temescal Valley CDP is valued at $648,200, 113.6% above the national figure and 10% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,794 a month, 98.7% above the national figure, or roughly $33,528 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 84.8% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
