Yosemite Lakes CDP, CA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Yosemite Lakes CDP is a mid-size town in California, with 5,095 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #652 of 1,618 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 40.5 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 Yosemite Lakes CDP earn a median of $100,227 a year, 27.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Yosemite Lakes CDP is valued at $353,700, 16.6% above the national figure and 40% below the $589,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,204 a month, 56.8% above the national figure, or roughly $26,448 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.4% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.3% 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.
