What it’s like
The place. Crockett is a small community on the Carquinez Strait side of Contra Costa County, with a population that skews older than many places. Incomes are somewhat below the county's, and more homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Winters are cool and mild, summers warm, and the year brings a modest amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, government and retail close behind. Across Contra Costa County, the largest workplaces include West Contra Costa Unified, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and John Muir Medical Center - WC. The commute is a long one, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Some of the best-known places nearby are a longer drive away. The Sacramento River and the San Joaquin River offer riverside outings, while across the bay in San Francisco, Golden Gate Park is a large garden and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a museum. Each of these 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 Crockett’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 Contra Costa County and the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley, CA metro.
