POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT

Jurupa Valley’s 2015 population was 98,231. According to the 2015 American Community Survey, roughly 68 percent identifies as Hispanic or Latino. The median age is 31 and the male to female ratio is 100.8 males per 100 females. The median household income is $58,000 and 15 percent of the population 16 years and over is unemployed. Compared to neighboring cities in both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, Jurupa Valley’s population density is relatively low at generally less than 10 residents per acre, with a few census tracts over 10 in limited areas. This reflects the city’s overall predominantly rural residential land use pattern compared to neighboring cities that have higher residential densities (see Figure 3-2).
