Wheatland city, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wheatland city is a small town in California, with 3,790 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #724 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Wheatland city earn a median of $81,827 a year, 4.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wheatland city is valued at $387,300, 27.7% above the national figure and 34% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,210 a month, 13.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
