ZIP code 95328

ZIP 95328 is a small town in Stanislaus County, California, with 3,939 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1164 of 1,803 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 31.4 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 95328 earn a median of $53,013 a year, 32.5% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 35.4% 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 95328 is valued at $435,100, 43.4% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,373 a month, 2.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,476 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 8.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 48.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Home values sit at 8.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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.

ZIP 95328 is tabulated inside Stanislaus County, California, one of 25 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,803 across California. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. 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 95328 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 95328 reports a median household income of $53,013, 31% below the $77,101 county median, and 41% below the $89,916 typical CA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $435,100, close to the county figure and 31% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,373 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 95328 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 95328 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.
