What it’s like
The place. Burbank is a small Washington community where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a higher share than is usual. Household incomes run well above the county's, and homes here are worth a good deal, though few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month, summers are hot and dry, and the year brings very little rain or snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Across Walla County, some of the largest workplaces are Tyson Fresh Meats, Providence St. Mary Medical Center and Walla Walla Public Schools. Unemployment across the county is unchanged from a year ago, while the number of jobs there has slipped, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. The Snake River runs in or beside town, along with Lake Lewis and McNary National Wildlife Refuge, which makes the water and its birdlife easy to reach. Sacajawea State Park is also in or beside town, and Fort Nez Percés, a fort, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Whitman Mission National Historic Site is 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 Burbank’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 Walla Walla County and the Walla Walla, WA metro.
