Property tax · $286/mo 0.73% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Sacramento County, CA
Insurance & upkeep · $500/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. La Riviera is a community in Sacramento County where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and residents are younger than in many American towns. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and more people work from home than you might expect.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by government, professional and business services, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in La Riviera are Automatic Data Processing, Butcher Power Products, INC, and Growth Public District. The usual trip to work is a moderate one, and unemployment across Sacramento County is slightly lower than a year ago.
Things to do. Safetyville USA, a park, is in or beside town. A short drive away are the American River, Sutter's Fort and the Crocker Art Museum. Winters are cool and wet with little or no snow, and summers turn hot, so the river and the museum suit different seasons.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in La Riviera’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Sacramento County and the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA metro.
