The quick read

Employment conditions sit below most comparable published ZIP profiles: unemployment is 6.2% and the Opportunity signal places 93722 in the bottom 27%.

Physical-risk exposure is above the national median, driven mainly by drought, inland flooding and earthquake.

A major airport is 9 miles away, giving the area unusually direct access to the national air network.

Each point is a separate five-year estimate, most recently $80,285 in the 2024 ACS 5-Year. Consecutive releases share four years of sample, so AreaProfile shows them as a record of successive estimates and does not compute a year-over-year change from them.

Housing & affordability

How it’s calculated →

Median rent of $1,656 takes 25% of median household income, below the 30% threshold at which a household is considered cost-burdened.

A median home costs 4.7 times median household income here, above the historic benchmark of about three times income.

Both affordability measures come from the same ACS release as the income they are compared with, so the comparison is like for like. They describe housing cost against local earnings and are not a cost-of-living index — transport, groceries, healthcare, insurance and taxes are not included, and a place can look affordable here and still be expensive to live in for reasons this does not capture.

Growth & development

Development Momentum
48/ 100
Ranks 402 of 701 published city profiles

An AreaProfile calculation combining permit volume per resident, its direction over one and three years, population change and employment growth. Permit volume alone is not the measure.

New construction is predominantly single-family: only 17% of permitted units are in buildings of five or more homes.

At 2.9 permitted units per 1,000 residents, building activity is below the median for measured US ZIP areas.

Physical risk

12 / 100
Physical resilience

The hazards accounting for most of this area's expected annual loss are drought, inland flooding and earthquake.

DroughtHigh
EarthquakeHigh
Inland floodingModerate
WildfireModerate
Heat waveModerate
AvalancheModerate
Volcanic activityModerate

Low or minimal exposure: landslide, hail, lightning, tornado, winter weather, strong wind.

Hazard ratings are AreaProfile calculations derived from the FEMA National Risk Index v1.20.0 (December 2025). FEMA publishes at county level. ZIP values are the land-area-weighted mean of the counties the ZIP Code Tabulation Area intersects. Expected annual loss is not allocated below county level. FEMA does not endorse this presentation. Higher physical resilience means lower exposure.

Taxes

AreaProfile does not yet publish tax comparisons. No tax dataset has met the source admission test for coverage, methodology transparency and update cadence, and the product rule is to omit a dimension rather than estimate it. The Area Score is calculated without a tax component and the weighting is documented on the methodology page.

Nothing on AreaProfile is individualized tax advice.

Access

1 major airport lies within 100 miles, the nearest 9 miles away.

Fresno Yosemite IntlFAT9 mi9,539 ft

Stockton MetroSCK106 mi10,245 ft

Airport identity, position and runway data come from the FAA. “Major airport” is an AreaProfile classification — a public-use civil airport with a paved runway of at least 8,000 feet — not an FAA hub designation. Distances are straight-line, not driving distance.
