What it’s like
The place. American Canyon is a city in Napa County with a fairly young population compared with many places where homeowners look to settle. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run above the county's. The weather is mild: winters are cool but not harsh, summers warm without being extreme, and the year brings a modest amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants and hotels, and in government. Within the city, some of the largest workplaces are Amazon, Safeway and Barry Callebaut. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, a zoo and amusement park, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Sonoma Raceway is a race track, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a museum, both a longer drive away. Muir Woods National Monument, a protected area, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in American Canyon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Napa County and the Napa, CA metro.
