Woodland city, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Woodland city is a small city in California, with 61,256 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #151 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 37 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 Woodland city earn a median of $87,880 a year, 11.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% below 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Woodland city is valued at $505,200, 66.5% above the national figure and 14% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,500 a month, 6.7% above the national figure, or roughly $18,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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. 58.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
