What it’s like
The place. Greenville is a small community in Plumas County, in the northern Sierra Nevada. Winters are cold and very snowy, with December the coldest month, and the snow is heavy compared with most of the country. Summers are warm without being extreme, with July the warmest month, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow. Typical home values are modest, and the share of people living below the poverty line is low.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in government. Across Plumas County, the largest workplaces include the California Department of Transportation facilities, Sierra Pacific Industries' Quincy Division, and Plumas Unified, the school district. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Butterfly Valley Botanical Area, a protected area, and Mountain Meadows Reservoir are both a short drive away. A longer drive leads to Lake Almanor, a large reservoir, and to Lassen National Forest, a protected area of forest and mountain country. With snowy winters and warm summers, the area suits time outdoors in most seasons.

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