The median home value is $234,350, well below the state's $403,775, yet above the national $173,750.

The median property tax rate of 0.68% is close to California's 0.69% and under the national 0.74%.

Renter-occupied housing makes up 28.77% of homes, lower than the state's 33.49% but higher than the national 21.81%.

Together these figures describe a lower-cost rural county where homes and rents are affordable by California standards, though incomes are modest and unemployment is elevated, which affects how comfortably residents can afford those costs.

Reviewing individual property records helps put those broad figures in context.
