Poverty rate is 4.7%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $127,910 in Contra Costa Centre. With a population of 7,127, Contra Costa Centre is a small town. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:

- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
