What it’s like

The place. Fillmore is a small city in Ventura County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and the population is somewhat younger than in many places. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values and rents are high. Winters are mild, with the coldest days in February still cool rather than harsh, and summers are warm, peaking in September. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly dry year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, shops and government also employing many. The largest workplaces in Fillmore include Fillmore Unified, Vons and Fillmore Area Transit Corporation Ventura. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across much of the country, commutes tend to be long, and some people work from home. Unemployment across the county is slightly lower than a year ago, though the county has about as many jobs as before.

Things to do. The Fillmore and Western Railway, a railway museum, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Piru Creek, a river, and Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area. Farther afield, a longer drive leads to Lake Piru, a reservoir.
