What it’s like
The place. Myers Flat is a very small community in Humboldt County, in the northwest of California, where people tend to know one another. Winters are cool and wet, with little snow, and summers are warm but never very hot. Rain falls heavily through the year, so the green, damp landscape is a large part of daily life.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops. Others work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, or in professional and business services. Work tends to be close to home for those who can manage it.
Things to do. Humboldt Redwoods State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and it is one of the best known places nearby. Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park and the King Range, both protected areas, are a longer drive away. The Van Duzen River, a waterway, is also 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 Myers Flat’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 Humboldt County and the Eureka-Arcata, CA metro.
