What it’s like
The place. Parlier is a small city in Fresno County, and its people are young, with a median age well below what is typical across much of the country. Incomes are lower than across the county as a whole, and more households live below the poverty line than most places. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than the share you might expect, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in farming, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Parlier are Parlier Unified, the school district, Custom Produce Sales, a fresh produce wholesaler, and the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Unemployment across Fresno County has stayed close to where it was a year ago, and the number of jobs there has grown only slightly.
Things to do. Winters are mild and fairly short, summers are very hot, and not much rain falls over the year. For a day out, Fresno Chaffee Zoo and Roeding Park, an amusement park, are both a longer drive away. Pine Flat Lake, a reservoir, is also a longer drive away and offers a change of scene from the farmland.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Parlier’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 Fresno County and the Fresno, CA metro.
