Vine Hill CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Vine Hill CDP is a small town in California, with 3,617 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #742 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 38 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Vine Hill CDP earn a median of $124,528 a year, 58.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 37% 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 8.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Vine Hill CDP is valued at $628,700, 107.2% above the national figure and 7% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,628 a month, 86.9% above the national figure, or roughly $31,536 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.3% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 80.1% 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. 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.
