The quick read

Reading Perris, CA beyond the headline numbers

Perris sits inside Riverside County, California, at roughly 33.78°N, -117.23°W. Population 74,971, $88,911 median household income. Median home value $474,700, median rent $1,876. Poverty rate 10.7%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.

At 10.7%, poverty in Perris, CA runs below the midpoint of reporting cities -- enough to matter locally, not enough to dominate the city's profile.

The median home in Perris costs around 5.3 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.

Only 5.7% of Perris workers report working from home, the lowest quarter of reporting cities -- an economy still built around showing up somewhere.

Among the CDC measures on this page, lack of health insurance departs furthest from its peer median: 19.3% in Perris, the highest-prevalence quarter of the 3,759 cities reporting that measure.

Perris's median age is 31.3 years, in the youngest quarter of reporting cities.
