About California State Housing Atlas

California State Housing Atlas is an independent publication of the State Housing Atlas Editorial Team. It presents rent, home values, household income and rent burden for California in a searchable, sortable form, using figures published by US federal agencies.

Median rent, home values, household income and rent burden by state and county, from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates. All figures are survey estimates with margins of error.

This is not a government website

California State Housing Atlas is not a US government website and is not operated by, affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by any federal or state agency. Agency names appear only to identify where the data come from. No government seal, emblem or logo is used.

How the site is organized

There is one national site and one site for each of the 50 states, each on its own address. The District of Columbia is included in the national tables and in state comparisons where noted, but it is not a state and does not have a separate site.
