Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — California

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median monthly rents exceeding $2,500 cluster heavily along the coastal Bay Area and Silicon Valley zip codes, with additional high-rent pockets visible in parts of coastal Southern California, particularly in the Los Angeles Westside and Orange County areas. The Central Valley corridor from Sacramento south through Fresno and Bakersfield consistently displays moderate rents in the $1,000–$1,500 range, while the lowest rents—below $750—concentrate in rural northern California, the far eastern Sierra regions, and select inland Southern California desert communities. A sharp rent gradient is visible along the San Francisco Peninsula, where adjacent zip codes can span from the upper quartile to near-maximum values within just a few miles.
