What it’s like
The place. Landers sits in the High Desert of San Bernardino County, where winters are cold and summers are very hot. Rain is light across the year, and snow falls only now and then. Most homes here are lived in by their owners rather than rented, and the typical resident is a good deal younger than the typical homeowner. Home values are modest compared with much of California.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops, transport, warehouses and utilities, and professional and business services. Across the county, unemployment has eased slightly over the past year, and jobs have grown a little. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and the typical commute is longer than the national norm.
Things to do. Big Bear Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive away and is among the best known spots in the area. Snow Summit, a ski area, and Sand to Snow National Monument, a protected area, are also a longer drive away and suit visitors who enjoy the mountains and open land.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across San Bernardino County, 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 San Bernardino County and the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA metro.
