At 8.6%, poverty in Arcadia, CA runs below the midpoint of reporting cities -- enough to matter locally, not enough to dominate the city's profile.

The median home in Arcadia costs around 12.7 times what a median household earns in a year -- the most expensive quarter of reporting cities, and far enough ahead of local pay that ownership is largely closed to median earners.

22.7% of Arcadia workers report working from home, the highest quarter of reporting cities. Where that share runs this high, local income increasingly reflects employers located somewhere else.

Among the CDC measures on this page, current asthma departs furthest from its peer median: 7.2% in Arcadia, the lowest-prevalence quarter of the 3,722 cities reporting that measure.

At 43.9 years, Arcadia's median age is in the oldest quarter of reporting cities.
