What it’s like
The place. August is a small community in San Joaquin County, with a population younger than most places in the country. A smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns, and more households live below the poverty line than is typical. Slightly more homes are lived in by their owners than rented.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in manufacturing. Among the larger workplaces in August are UPS, O'Brien Steel Erectors and San Joaquin Steel Co. Unemployment across San Joaquin County has eased a little over the past year, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Several museums are a short drive away, including the Haggin Museum and the San Joaquin County Historical Society and Museum. Micke Grove Zoo is also a short drive away, and the Calaveras River is close by for time outdoors. Winters are mild and cool with little or no snow, and summers turn hot, with modest rainfall through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in August’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.
