Del Norte ZIP codes — Del Norte County, California

Del Norte County is a small city in California, with 27,293 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 40.8 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 Del Norte County earn a median of $66,780 a year, 15% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 11.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Del Norte County is valued at $319,600, 5.3% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,182 a month, 15.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,184 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.2% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
