What it’s like
The place. Jenner is a very small community where the Russian River reaches the Pacific, and it has far fewer residents than most California towns. Homes here are valued well above what is typical across the country, and the county's household incomes are high as well. Winters are cool and mild, summers stay on the cool side, and a good deal of rain falls over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops and in manufacturing. Across Sonoma County, the largest workplaces include Kaiser Permanente, Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and Santa Rosa Junior College. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The Russian River and Goat Rock Beach are in or beside town, and Jenner Headlands Preserve is just as close for walking. A short drive away are Fort Ross, a historic fort, and Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, a protected stand of redwoods.

Natural hazards

- Inland floodingRelatively high
- EarthquakesRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Jenner’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Sonoma County and the Santa Rosa-Petaluma, CA metro.
