Housing Owner-Occupied Median Value ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — California

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Coastal zip codes from the San Francisco Bay Area through Silicon Valley and into parts of the Central Coast consistently exhibit the highest median owner-occupied housing values, frequently exceeding $1,000,000, while inland regions such as the Central Valley and far northern California cluster predominantly in the $250,000–$400,000 range. The Southern California coast, particularly in the Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas, displays a sharp gradient where high-value coastal zip codes transition rapidly to lower-value areas further inland and in the desert east. Notably, several scattered zip codes in the southeastern desert regions and parts of the rural north register among the lowest values statewide, often below $150,000, underscoring the stark urban-coastal versus rural-inland divide in California's housing market.
