Wilkerson CDP, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wilkerson CDP is a very small community in California, with 598 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1183 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 44.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Wilkerson CDP earn a median of $92,212 a year, 17.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $91,111 median for the 1,050 California cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wilkerson CDP is valued at $319,600, 5.3% above the national figure and 46% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.2% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 598 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wilkerson CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Wilkerson 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.
