What it’s like
The place. Brooks is a small community in Yolo County, California, where neighbors tend to know one another. Its winters are cooler than summers, with January the coldest month and July the warmest. Snow is rare here, and the area gets a fair amount of rain across the year.
Work. Residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Many of these jobs are found in the county's towns and cities rather than in Brooks itself. Unemployment across Yolo County has eased somewhat in the past year.
Things to do. Lake Berryessa, a reservoir, is a longer drive away and is one of the area's best-known bodies of water. The Feather River, also a longer drive away, offers a riverside outing. The Woodland Opera House, a theatre, is a longer drive away for an evening of live performance.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Brooks’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Yolo County and the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA metro.
