ACS 2020–2024 · El Paso de Robles (Paso Robles) city, California · Incorporated city · GEOID 0622300. The survey estimates a population of 31,446 for its five-year window. This is separate from the annual July 2025 population estimate on the city overview.

Median age in El Paso de Robles (Paso Robles) is 38.7 years, with a 90% margin of error of 2.7 years. There are 11,979 households (±512). Age and household distributions show how these totals are composed; they do not establish which neighborhood suits a particular person.

Every count and share is an estimate. “±” is a 90% margin of error (MOE); pp means percentage points. Derived shares use the category count divided by the named universe. Aggregated category MOEs and percentage MOEs are approximate. A margin larger than half its estimate is flagged as low precision. Blank source uncertainty is shown as unavailable, never zero.
