What it’s like
The place. Dixon is a small city in Solano County, with a younger population than many American towns. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Typical home values and rents are high, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect given the incomes. Winters are mild and wet, with little or no snow, and summers are hot and dry in the way of California's Central Valley.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by the building trades, shops and manufacturing. Some of the biggest workplaces in Dixon are Cardinal Health, a medical supplies wholesaler, Walmart, and Dixon Unified, the school district. The usual commute is a fairly long one, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment across Solano County is a little lower than a year ago, and the county has added a small number of jobs.
Things to do. A short drive away, Putah Creek is a river good for a walk along the water, and the University of California, Davis, Arboretum and Public Garden is a botanical garden open to visitors. The Bohart Museum of Entomology, also a short drive off, is a museum devoted to insects. For a longer outing, Lake Berryessa is a reservoir a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- EarthquakesVery high
- Inland floodingRelatively high
- DroughtRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dixon’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 Solano County and the Vallejo, CA metro.
