The city

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

How Newark compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, Newark is #126 by population, #20 for household income (#1 = highest), #22 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #116 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Alameda County, is #4 of 58 counties for average pay ($98,026).

The place in numbers

Newark has 46,903 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.1% of the population of California. It covers 14 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,370 people per square mile. The median age is 37.9, about the same as the state median (37.9 against 37.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $2,776 a month (rent plus utilities), 36% above the state median ($2,776 against $2,036). Over a year that is 19.7% 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 $1,142,800, which is 6.8 times the median household income ($169,064); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 69.4% of households own their home, 24% above the state average (69.4% against 55.9%).

Work and pay

The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metropolitan area has 2,373,920 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $74,260 a year, 46% above the national median ($74,260 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (226,320 jobs, median $62,120); management (223,100 jobs, median $176,340); business and financial operations (207,030 jobs, median $112,960). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and life, physical, and social science (1.8 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($176,340) and computer and mathematical ($167,770). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Alameda County was 4.7%. 72.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Alameda County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 59.8% drive alone, 4.2% use public transit, 0.8% walk, 23.0% work from home. 22.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 14% above the state average (22.2% 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.

People and education

48.1% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 30% above the state share (48.1% against 37.1%). 43.5% of residents were born outside the United States, 61% above the state share (43.5% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 4.3%, 64% below the state rate (4.3% 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.
