What it’s like
The place. Shingletown is a small community where the population skews older than in most places, and nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Winters are cold, and what falls through the year comes as both rain and melted snow. Summers are warm without being extreme.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, in restaurants and hotels, and in professional and business services. Unemployment across Shasta County is a little lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs. Among the largest workplaces across the county are Mercy Medical Center Redding and Shasta College.
Things to do. Lassen Volcanic National Park is a longer drive away, and it brings together lakes such as Manzanita Lake and Emerald Lake, along with the Loomis Museum. Closer to home, Digger Creek is a river a short drive away. The McCloud River is another river within a longer drive.

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