ZIP code 95747

ZIP 95747 is a small city in Placer County, California, with 78,987 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #35 of 1,803 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 40.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in ZIP 95747 earn a median of $133,595 a year, 70.1% 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 95747 is valued at $653,400, 115.4% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $2,184 a month, 55.3% above the national figure, or roughly $26,208 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 81.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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 95747 is tabulated inside Placer County, California, one of 30 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 95747 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 95747 reports a median household income of $133,595, 27% above the $104,985 county median, and 49% above the $89,916 typical CA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $653,400, close to the county figure and 4% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $2,184 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 95747 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 95747 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.
