How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in San Jose, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How San Jose compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, San Jose is #3 by population, #30 for household income (#1 = highest), #110 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #48 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Santa Clara County, is #1 of 58 counties for average pay ($197,043).

The place in numbers

San Jose has 990,138 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 2.5% of the population of California. It covers 178 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 5,564 people per square mile. The median age is 38.2, about the same as the state median (38.2 against 37.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $2,669 a month (rent plus utilities), 31% above the state median ($2,669 against $2,036). Over a year that is 21.9% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,233,200, which is 8.4 times the median household income ($146,427); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 55.8% of households own their home, about the same as the state average (55.8% against 55.9%).

Work and pay

The San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA metropolitan area has 1,134,970 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $84,050 a year, 65% above the national median ($84,050 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are computer and mathematical (149,970 jobs, median $186,320); management (115,110 jobs, median $210,750); business and financial operations (94,210 jobs, median $125,240). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (3.9 times) and architecture and engineering (2.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($210,750) and legal ($195,190). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Santa Clara County was 4.2%. 67.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Santa Clara County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 62.9% drive alone, 2.4% use public transit, 1.8% walk, 20.3% work from home. 15.3% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 21% below the state average (15.3% against 19.4%).

People and education

47.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 28% above the state share (47.3% against 37.1%). 42.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 56% above the state share (42.0% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 8.1%, 32% below the state rate (8.1% against 12.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 68°F (19.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 47°F (8.3°C). About 510 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (114 mm) and Jul the driest (0 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Campbell (8 miles, similar rent); Los Gatos (9 miles, rent 22% higher); Santa Clara (10 miles, rent 13% higher); Milpitas (10 miles, rent 17% higher). Rent differences are against San Jose; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
