What it’s like
The place. Huron is a small city in Fresno County, and its people are young, with a median age well below that of most of the country. Far more households rent than own their homes, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is typical. Few adults have a four-year degree, and the typical home is worth less than in many parts of California.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Unemployment across Fresno County is slightly lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs in the county has grown only a little. Among the largest workplaces across the county are Fresno Unified, the Community Regional Medical Center and the County of Fresno. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Zapato Chino Creek is a river a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to the Kings River and Tulare Lake, and to Marchbanks Speedway, a race track. Winters are cool and summers are very hot, with July the warmest month.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Huron’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 Fresno County and the Fresno, CA metro.
