The quick read

Reading Rancho Cordova, CA beyond the headline numbers

Rancho Cordova sits inside Sacramento County, California, at roughly 38.59°N, -121.30°W. Population 71,017, $89,585 median household income. Median home value $477,600, median rent $1,787. Poverty rate 12.2%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.

Poverty in Rancho Cordova, CA stands at 12.2%, 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 Rancho Cordova 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.

20.1% of Rancho Cordova 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, high blood pressure departs furthest from its peer median: 29.3% in Rancho Cordova, the lowest-prevalence quarter of the 3,759 cities reporting that measure.
