What it’s like
The place. Camp Meeker is a small community in western Sonoma County, California, first settled as a camp meeting ground in the nineteenth century. Neighbors tend to know one another, and the surrounding redwood and creek country gives it a quiet, rural feel. Across Sonoma County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the county's typical resident is middle-aged.
Work. Across Sonoma County, unemployment is low and has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs dipped slightly in the most recent year on record. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, retail shops, or manufacturing. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and commutes are generally short, with a fair number of people working from home. Winters are the coldest part of the year, and summers are the warmest, with the hottest weather usually arriving in late summer. The area gets a fair amount of rain and melted snow each year.
Things to do. Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, a protected area of old redwood forest, is a short drive away. The Russian River, also a short drive away, offers a riverside setting for an easy outing. For a longer trip, Fort Ross, a historic fort, lies a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Sonoma County, 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 Sonoma County and the Santa Rosa-Petaluma, CA metro.
