What it’s like
The place. Silverado is a very small community in Orange County, home to far fewer people than the towns around it. Homes here are valued well above what is typical across much of the country, and the county's household incomes sit comfortably on the higher side. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and a fair number of people do their work from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in manufacturing and in shops. Among the largest workplaces across Orange County are The Walt Disney Company, UC Irvine Health and the University of California-Irvine. Commutes tend to run long, and the county's job market has been roughly steady, with unemployment close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. The best-known destination nearby is Disneyland, an amusement park a longer drive away, with Disney California Adventure beside it. Angel Stadium of Anaheim is another longer drive for a ballgame, and the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum offers a quieter outing. The weather is mild for most of the year, with cool but gentle winters, hot summer afternoons in August and little rain.

Natural hazards

- WildfireVery high
- Inland floodingVery high
- EarthquakesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Silverado’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 Orange County and the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metro.
