What it’s like
The place. Firebaugh is a small city in Fresno County, and its residents are younger than the typical American. Incomes here run well below the county's, and more households rent than in most places, with fewer homes lived in by their owners. Few adults have a four-year degree.
Work. Farming, forestry and mining employ more residents than any other line of work, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, then manufacturing and wholesale. The largest workplaces in town include The Neil Jones Food Company, which makes fresh vegetable juices, and the Firebaugh-Las Deltas school district. Unemployment in Fresno County is higher than many parts of the country, and job growth across the county has been very slight. Few people work from home, and the trip to work takes a little longer than the national norm.
Things to do. Fresno Slough and Panoche Creek are both a short drive away, giving people a place to be near running water. Farther out, a longer drive reaches Lake Corcoran, and the Alkali Sink Ecological Reserve offers a protected area to visit. Winters are mild and cool, summers run very hot, and rain is scarce through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Firebaugh’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Fresno County and the Fresno, CA metro.
