The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Redding, the median household income averages $72,717 and per-capita income averages $39,748. Poverty rate runs at 13.3% and unemployment at 5.8%.
