What it’s like
The place. Gasquet is a small community in Del Norte County, California, in the far northwest corner of the state. Almost everyone here owns the home they live in, a far higher share of owners than is usual across the country. Typical home values sit well above what household incomes in the county would suggest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in shops. Across Del Norte County, the biggest workplaces include Del Norte County Unified, the school district, and Sutter Coast Hospital, along with several California Department of Transportation facilities. Unemployment across the county is the same as a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. Winters are cool and wet rather than snowy, and summers stay mild, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year. The North Fork Smith River runs in or beside town, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and Six Rivers National Forest are both a short drive away. Redwood National Park is a longer drive, for a day among the big trees.
