At the 2000 census it was measured to be home to a population of around 60,000 with a median household income of about $65,000. That figure was measured in 2005 by the San Diego Association of Governments to have risen to more than $86,500.

The community is generally divided up into five distinct areas: Old Encinitas, New Encinitas, Olivehain, Leucadi and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. The city's area is more than 20 square miles, only 5% of that water. The largest industry in the city is growing and cultivation of ornamental flowers, with a particular emphasis on poinsettias.
