California ZIP Codes

California (CA) contains 1,761 ZIP codes spread across 58 counties and 1,175 distinct cities. Together those ZIP areas cover a total population of 37,249,464 based on Census ACS 5-Year Estimates. ZIP-level granularity matters here: California stretches across very different economic zones, and a single state-wide average hides the 10x spread you will see between its highest-income and lowest-income ZIP codes in the table below.

The economic baseline across California ZIPs shows an average median household income of $101,666 and an average home value of $772,713, with a state-wide average median age of 41.9. These averages are computed over every ZIP in CA with reported data, not weighted by population, so small rural ZIPs count the same as metropolitan ones. Use them as a reference line, then drill into the ZIP tables to see where affluent suburbs, rural counties, and urban cores deviate from the state mean.

The largest urban concentrations in California by population are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, and each city aggregates multiple ZIP codes worth of Census data on its own city page. Every record in this view comes from publicly available federal datasets, primarily the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey and USPS ZIP Code Tabulation Area files, with no proprietary scoring, estimation, or editorial adjustment.
