The city

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

How Fresno compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, Fresno is #5 by population, #3 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #4 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #137 for household income (#1 = highest). Its county, Fresno County, is #37 of 58 counties for average pay ($57,904).

The place in numbers

Fresno has 545,970 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 1.4% of the population of California. It covers 116 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 4,710 people per square mile. The median age is 32.8, 13% younger than the state median (32.8 against 37.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,421 a month (rent plus utilities), 30% below the state median ($1,421 against $2,036). Over a year that is 24.0% 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 $374,800, which is 5.3 times the median household income ($70,991); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 50.1% of households own their home, 10% below the state average (50.1% against 55.9%).

Work and pay

The Fresno, CA metropolitan area has 476,890 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $46,910 a year, 8% below the national median ($46,910 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (49,960 jobs, median $49,100); healthcare support (45,050 jobs, median $34,320); transportation and material moving (44,070 jobs, median $42,600). The area is most specialised in farming, fishing, and forestry (24.2 times) and healthcare support (1.9 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($114,450) and healthcare practitioners and technical ($106,850). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fresno County was 7.4%. 62.8% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fresno County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 72.1% drive alone, 1.2% use public transit, 1.5% walk, 10.9% work from home. 7.8% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 60% below the state average (7.8% against 19.4%).

People and education

25.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 31% below the state share (25.5% against 37.1%). 19.3% of residents were born outside the United States, 28% below the state share (19.3% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 20.1%, 67% above the state rate (20.1% against 12.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 85°F (29.7°C), and the coolest is Dec at 49°F (9.2°C). About 406 mm (16 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (79 mm) and Aug the driest (1 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.
