What it’s like
The place. Wheatland is a small city in Yuba County, California, and a place where a lot of people have a long drive to work. Winters are mild and the coldest month is December, while summers turn hot, with July the warmest month. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year. Home values run well above what the county's household incomes would suggest, and most adults do not hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in banks, insurance and property, professional and business services, and the building trades. The largest workplaces in Wheatland are Wheatland Schools, Wheatland Union High Schools and B.N.T. Tile, which installs ceramic tile. Unemployment across Yuba County is a little lower than a year ago, though the county had slightly fewer jobs last year than the year before. A fair number of people work from home, and the typical commute is a long one.
Things to do. The closest water is Camp Far West Reservoir, a short drive away. Farther afield, the Feather River and the Yuba River offer river scenery, and Folsom Lake is a reservoir for boating and time by the water. Each of these is a longer drive away.

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