Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — California

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley zip codes display the highest median household incomes statewide, with concentrations exceeding $150,000, while coastal Southern California communities in Orange County and western Los Angeles also trend toward the upper end of the scale. In stark contrast, the Central Valley—stretching from Sacramento south through Fresno and Bakersfield—consistently registers lower median incomes in the $40,000–$60,000 range, with pockets of deep purple in parts of the Imperial Valley and rural northern California indicating areas below $30,000. The rural northeastern and eastern desert regions appear largely in gray (indicating missing or suppressed data), reflecting sparse population densities insufficient for reliable ZCTA-level estimates.
