Wildomar city, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wildomar city is a small city in California, with 36,953 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #231 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 35.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Wildomar city earn a median of $95,677 a year, 21.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wildomar city is valued at $511,900, 68.7% above the national figure and 13% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,910 a month, 35.8% above the national figure, or roughly $22,920 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24% 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. 75.2% 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.
