ZIP code 91963

ZIP 91963 is a very small community in San Diego County, California, with 617 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1504 of 1,803 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 28.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in ZIP 91963 earn a median of $25,208 a year, 67.9% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 49.3% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 91963 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 60.7% 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.

A median age of 28.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 617 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 91963 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for ZIP 91963 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 91963 is tabulated inside San Diego County, California, one of 115 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,803 across California. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 91963 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 91963 reports a median household income of $25,208, 75% below the $102,617 county median, and 72% below the $89,916 typical CA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of not published. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

California charges 7.25% statewide, and local governments overlapping 91963 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 91963 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
