What it’s like
The place. Clio is a very small community in Plumas County, in the northern part of California. It sits in the mountains of the northern Sierra Nevada, where winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm and dry-leaning, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, or in government. Unemployment across Plumas County is a little lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs in the county eased slightly over the most recent year.
Things to do. Plumas–Eureka State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and the Western Pacific Railroad Museum, also a short drive away, is a museum devoted to railroad history. Tahoe National Forest, a protected area a longer drive away, offers larger wild country for those willing to travel further.

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 Plumas County.
