What it’s like
The place. Orland is a small city in Glenn County, with a younger population than many American towns. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though fewer than you might expect for a place this size, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cool and mostly frost-free of snow, summers are hot, and the rain falls mostly in the cooler months.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. The largest workplaces in Orland include Orland Joint Unified, the local school district, along with North State Grocery Group and CiminoCare, which runs rest homes. Unemployment in Glenn County has stayed high and close to where it stood a year ago, and the county has lost a few jobs over the past year. Most people have a short drive to work, and only a small number work from home.
Things to do. Bidwell–Sacramento River State Park, a protected area, and Black Butte Lake, a reservoir, are both a short drive away. For a longer outing, Thunderhill Raceway Park is a race track, and Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park is a protected area that is also a drive away.

Natural hazards

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Orland’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Glenn County.
