The job is in Sunnyvale, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Sunnyvale compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, Sunnyvale is #37 by population, #12 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #15 for household income (#1 = highest), #129 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Santa Clara County, is #1 of 58 counties for average pay ($197,043).
Sunnyvale has 154,236 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.4% of the population of California. It covers 22 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 6,992 people per square mile. The median age is 35.2, 7% younger than the state median (35.2 against 37.9).
The median gross rent is $3,039 a month (rent plus utilities), 49% above the state median ($3,039 against $2,036). Over a year that is 19.6% 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 $1,801,800, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($186,170); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.8% of households own their home, 22% below the state average (43.8% against 55.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
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%. 72.4% 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.
Among workers, 53.7% drive alone, 4.0% use public transit, 1.6% walk, 29.2% work from home. 9.0% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 54% below the state average (9.0% against 19.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
69.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 87% above the state share (69.3% against 37.1%). 50.2% of residents were born outside the United States, 86% above the state share (50.2% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 5.8%, 52% below the state rate (5.8% against 12.0%).
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.
