ZIP 92134 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 92134 is a very small community in San Diego County, California, with 295 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1607 of 1,803 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 20.9 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 92134 earn a median of not published a year. 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 92134 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 20.9 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 295 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 92134 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for ZIP 92134 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.

Reading ZIP 92134 in context

How 92134 sits inside San Diego County and California.

ZIP 92134 is tabulated inside San Diego County, California, one of 115 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,803 across California. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. 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 92134 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 92134 reports a median household income of not published. 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 92134 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 92134 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.
