What it’s like
The place. Rexland Acres is a small community in Kern County with a young population compared with much of the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and very few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and cool rather than cold, summers are hot, and very little rain or snow falls across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, forestry and mining, shops, and professional and business services. Across Kern County, some of the largest workplaces are Kern High Schools, Bakersfield City Schools and Amazon. Almost nobody works from home, and the typical commute is of moderate length.
Things to do. Several parks are a short drive away, including Beale Park and Jastro Park, along with Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, a race track. Bakersfield Museum of Art is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Kern River is a longer 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 Rexland Acres’ 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 Kern County and the Bakersfield, CA metro.
