Winter Gardens CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Winter Gardens CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 22,003 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #330 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Winter Gardens CDP earn a median of $94,320 a year, 20.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Winter Gardens CDP is valued at $558,800, 84.2% above the national figure and 5% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,855 a month, 31.9% above the national figure, or roughly $22,260 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 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
