Reading the Rialto data for roofing

Rialto is one of the most established suburbs tracked here — 106,554 people (2025 estimate), up just 2.5% since 2020[1]. On the map that's 24.1 square miles holding 4,420 residents per square mile, the 3rd densest of the suburbs here; it sits entirely in San Bernardino County, with ZIP codes 92376, 92377, 92316[2].

Roofs of every age sit side by side here: 4% of homes were built in 2010 or later and 44% before 1980[4], so two houses on one street can need very different roof work.

Rialto is split across 3 ZIP codes: 92376 (51% of the city's land), 92377 (26% of the city's land), 92316 (16% of the city's land)[5].
