Occupational employment and wages are published for metropolitan areas rather than for individual cities or ZIP areas, so these describe the wider labor market this location sits in. 2025 OEWS, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not publish labor-force data for ZIP areas. This is the figure for Rocklin, CA, the city containing this ZIP code.
Schools
How it’s calculated →There are 21.0 students for every full-time teacher, more than in most measured places.
| School | District | Students | Per teacher | Math | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring View Middle | Rocklin Unified | 780 | 20.0 | — | — |
| Rocklin Elementary | Rocklin Unified | 631 | 23.4 | — | — |
| Antelope Creek Elementary | Rocklin Unified | 493 | 20.5 | — | — |
| Sierra Elementary | Rocklin Unified | 445 | 20.2 | — | — |
| Parker Whitney Elementary | Rocklin Unified | 422 | 21.1 | — | — |
33.9% of students here are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. That describes the circumstances families arrive with rather than how the schools perform, which is why AreaProfile shows it and does not score it.
Public schools only, from the NCES Common Core of Data. Schools are placed by ZIP code, so this is which schools are in this place rather than which one a particular address is zoned for — district boundaries do not follow municipal ones, and enrollment zones change. Fully virtual schools are excluded: they enroll students from across the state while reporting one administrative address, and counting them here would describe a school population this place does not have. The assessment covers grades 3 through 8, so a high school shows no proficiency figure — a dash in those columns means the test was not given at that school, not that it performed badly. Proficiency is measured against California’s own standard, so it compares cleanly within the state and only broadly against other states; AreaProfile therefore ranks it within state. The directory is current, while the proficiency figures are from the last school year with national coverage before the pandemic interrupted testing.
Housing & affordability
How it’s calculated →Median rent of $2,191 takes 25% of median household income, below the 30% threshold at which a household is considered cost-burdened.
A median home costs 6.2 times median household income here, well above the historic benchmark, at a level conventionally described as seriously unaffordable.
| Metric | Value | Compared with peers | Source period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home price to income | 6.19 | Top 9% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Homeownership rate | 66.3% | Bottom 23% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Housing units ±440 | 11,364 | Top 14% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median gross rent ±$79 | $2,191 | Top 5% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median home value ±$19,422 | $654,200 | Top 7% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Rent as a share of income | 24.9% | Top 15% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Vacancy rate | 3.4% | Bottom 14% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
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
How it’s calculated →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.
75% of recently permitted units are in buildings of five or more homes, so new supply is concentrated in apartments and condominiums rather than detached houses.
At 8.6 permitted units per 1,000 residents, building activity is above the median for measured US ZIP areas.
The Building Permits Survey is not published for ZIP areas. This is the figure for Rocklin, CA, the city containing this ZIP code.
Weather & climate
9 of the twelve months have a normal average temperature between 55°F and 80°F. July averages a high of 94°F and January a low of 41°F.
Normal annual precipitation is 19.2 inches.
| Metric | Value | Source period |
|---|---|---|
| Annual precipitation | 19.2" | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Annual snowfall | 0.0" | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Average January low | 41°F | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Average July high | 94°F | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Comfortable months | 9 | 1991-2020 Normals |
| Seasonal temperature swing | 29°F | 1991-2020 Normals |
Climate figures are thirty-year normals, not current conditions. They describe what a typical year looks like rather than what the weather is doing today.
Physical risk
The hazards accounting for most of this area's expected annual loss are inland flooding, wildfire and earthquake.
Low or minimal exposure: landslide, lightning, volcanic activity, winter weather, hail, tornado, 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.
What this profile does not cover
Three things people look for are missing from every AreaProfile page, and each is missing for a reason rather than by oversight. The Area Score is calculated without them and the weighting is documented on the methodology page.
- Crime
- The FBI’s Crime Data Explorer is the only source with national coverage and a published method, and it requires an API key AreaProfile does not hold. Arrest counts, news volume and commercial “safety scores” are not substituted in the meantime. Reported crime is also easy to misread: agency participation varies year to year, and a city that draws a large daytime workforce carries incidents its residents did not generate.
- Taxes
- No tax dataset has met the source admission test for coverage, transparent methodology and update cadence. Nothing here is individualized tax advice.
- Full cost of living
- No public source publishes one with national coverage and a documented method. Housing affordability above is computed from published rent, price and income, and excludes transport, groceries, healthcare, insurance and taxes — commuting cost in particular tends to offset suburban housing savings.
Access
7 major airports lie within 100 miles, the nearest 13 miles away.
| Airport | Code | Distance | Longest runway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mc Clellan Airfield | MCC | 13 mi | 10,599 ft |
| Sacramento Intl | SMF | 20 mi | 8,605 ft |
| Stockton Metro | SCK | 62 mi | 10,245 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.

95677 vs Rocklin
How this ZIP area compares with Rocklin as a whole. Both figures come from the same ACS release, so the comparison is like for like.
Some demographic statistics use Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate but do not exactly match USPS ZIP delivery geography. See the methodology for how AreaProfile maps between them.
