What it’s like

The place. Ducor is a very small community in Tulare County, in California's Central Valley, where most of the land around it is given over to farming. Homes here cost less than the typical home across much of the state, and household incomes in the county are modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the daily drive to work is a fairly long one.

Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, shops and manufacturing. Across Tulare County, some of the largest workplaces are Kaweah Delta Medical Center, Visalia Unified and Amazon. Unemployment across the county has stayed high and barely changed over the past year, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.

Things to do. Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park and Pixley National Wildlife Refuge are both protected areas, each a longer drive away, and Lake Success is a reservoir at a similar distance. Winters are mild and cool, with the coldest days in January still fairly gentle, while summers turn very hot, so outings are most comfortable outside the height of July. Rain and melted snow add up to very little over a year, so the country around is dry for most of it.
