The quick read
Reading Port Hueneme, CA beyond the headline numbers
Port Hueneme sits inside Ventura County, California, at roughly 34.15°N, -119.20°W. Population 22,423, $92,660 median household income. Median home value $587,000, median rent $2,228. Poverty rate 11.4%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.
Poverty in Port Hueneme, CA stands at 11.4%, above the midpoint of reporting cities. A median income can look comfortable while a share this size sits well beneath it, which is why the two figures belong together.
The median home in Port Hueneme costs around 6.3 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 8% of Port Hueneme 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: 13.8% in Port Hueneme, the highest-prevalence quarter of the 3,759 cities reporting that measure.
