What it’s like
The place. Strawberry Valley is a small town in Yuba County, in the northern part of California's Sierra Nevada foothills. Winters are cold and snowy, and the area gets a good deal of rain, while summers are warm and dry. Across Yuba County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the town's population is fairly young.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, or for government. Unemployment across Yuba County has eased over the past year, although the number of jobs there edged down in the most recent full year. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and few people work from home, so most people commute to their jobs.
Things to do. Little Grass Valley Reservoir is a reservoir a short drive away, and it suits an easy outing. Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park, a protected area a longer drive away, is a good choice for a longer day trip. The Nevada Theatre, also a longer drive away, offers a night out.

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