Windsor town, CA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Windsor town is a small city in California, with 26,179 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #292 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 42.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Windsor town earn a median of $129,004 a year, 64.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 42% above 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 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Windsor town is valued at $763,200, 151.5% above the national figure and 29% above the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,087 a month, 48.4% above the national figure, or roughly $25,044 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% 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 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 74.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
