ZIP 92506 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 92506 is a small city in Riverside County, California, with 44,311 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #314 of 1,803 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 39.3 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 ZIP 92506 earn a median of $120,877 a year, 53.9% above 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 92506 is valued at $634,900, 109.3% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,814 a month, 29% above the national figure, or roughly $21,768 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
Reading ZIP 92506 in context
How 92506 sits inside Riverside County and California.
ZIP 92506 is tabulated inside Riverside County, California, one of 71 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,803 across California. This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. 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 92506 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.
Against its own county, 92506 reports a median household income of $120,877, 40% above the $86,443 county median, and 34% above the $89,916 typical CA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $634,900, 28% above the county figure and close to the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,814 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.
A taxable purchase made inside 92506 carries 8.75% at the register, assembled from the Riverside jurisdiction stack: the California state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 92506 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.
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 92506 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.

Affordability in this ZIP
Derived from the Census medians above — indicative, not an offer.
A rent burden above 30% is the federal threshold for cost-burdened households, and a price-to-income multiple above 4× is generally considered a stretched housing market. The mortgage figure is principal and interest only — taxes, insurance and HOA dues are extra.
