Whitmore, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Whitmore CDP is a very small community in California, with 204 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1375 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 62 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Whitmore CDP earn a median of $60,625 a year, 22.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below 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 20.1% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Whitmore CDP is valued at $331,700, 9.3% above the national figure and 44% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 86.8% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 62 puts Whitmore CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 204 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Whitmore CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Whitmore CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
