What it’s like
The place. Lebec is a small community in the mountain pass country of Los Angeles County, far from the dense neighborhoods most people picture when they think of the county. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month, and summers turn warm in August. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest yearly amount, so the climate leans dry.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and shops. Across Los Angeles County, some of the largest workplaces are Los Angeles Unified, the University of California-Los Angeles and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, while the number of jobs has stayed about level.
Things to do. Fort Tejon, a museum in or beside town, is the closest history stop. A short drive away are Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area, a protected area for off-road riding, and Quail Lake, a lake. Pyramid Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lebec’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 Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metro.
