Winchester, CA population, income and ZIP codes

Winchester CDP is a small town in California, with 3,716 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #733 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 35.4 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 Winchester CDP earn a median of $75,353 a year, 4.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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. Poverty reaches 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Winchester CDP is valued at $429,500, 41.6% above the national figure and 27% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,479 a month, 5.2% above the national figure, or roughly $17,748 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.6% 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 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.8% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
