The short answer

Clyde is home to 653 people. Median household income is $134,050 a year and median rent is $1,404 a month, 12.6% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $649,200, about 4.8x annual median household income.

What stands out about Clyde

  • Between the 2019 and 2024 surveys, household income rose 10.1% a year while rent rose -4.5%, so pay gained on rent more than in 99% of the 2,476 places under 10,000 people we track. It is the 2nd-lowest of 654 California places.
  • The median resident is 55.9 years old, older than in 97% of places its size.
  • Owning with a mortgage costs about $1,375 a month more than the median rent, a wider gap than in 93% of places its size.
  • The median rent takes only 12.6% of the median household's income, a smaller share than in 94% of places its size.
  • After the median rent, and with prices for everything else adjusted to the US average, the median household has about $117,900 a year left, more than in 86% of places its size.

Rent is light relative to pay, but the county has a FEMA natural hazard risk score of 99 out of 100. Budget for insurance before counting the savings.

Clyde in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 12% of the median income in 2030, down from 13% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases.

MeasureLatest2030 projectionLikely rangeAvg. per year
Median rent$1,404/mo (2024)$1,700/mo$1,390 to $2,070/mo+3.2%
Median household income$134,050 (2024)$174,500$147,500 to $206,000+4.5%
Median home value$649,200 (2024)$933,000$677,000 to $1,285,000+6.2%

The median home would be worth 5.4 years of the median income in 2030, against 4.8 now.
