What it’s like
The place. Sloughhouse is a community in Sacramento County, in California's Central Valley, southeast of the state capital. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and snow is rare. Rain falls across the year in a fair amount, which keeps the surrounding land green for much of the season. Across Sacramento County, most homes are lived in by their owners.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, government, or shops. Jobs across the county grew slightly over the past year, and unemployment is a little lower than it was a year earlier. Most people commute by car, and a modest share work from home.
Things to do. The American River, one of the best known rivers in the area, is a longer drive away and suits walking, swimming and paddling. The Crocker Art Museum, also a longer drive away, holds a well-regarded collection of art. Lake Calero, a reservoir in or beside town, is the closest place for an easy day outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Sacramento County, 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 Sacramento County and the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA metro.
