ZIP code 95601

ZIP 95601 is a very small community in Amador County, California, with 358 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1571 of 1,803 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 43.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 95601 earn a median of $91,233 a year, 16.2% above the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 95601 is valued at $350,600, 15.6% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,625 a month, 15.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.7% 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.

With 358 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 95601 against its county rather than against national figures.

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 95601 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 95601 reports a median household income of $91,233, close to the $90,455 county median, and close to the $89,916 typical CA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $350,600, 19% below the county figure and 44% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,625 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 95601 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 95601 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.
