What it’s like
The place. Yermo is a very small desert community in San Bernardino County, with far fewer residents than most towns that appear on this page. Household incomes run well below the county's, and homes here cost far less than in much of California. Winters are cool, with highs near what many people would call mild and lows that turn chilly at night, while summers are very hot and snow is rare. Rain and melted snow are scarce through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in professional and business services. Few adults hold a four-year degree compared with the rest of the country. Across San Bernardino County, the largest workplaces include UPS, Loma Linda University Medical Center and San Bernardino City Unified. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. Liberty Sculpture Park, a museum of outdoor sculpture, is in or beside town. A short drive away are the Calico Early Man Site, an archaeological site, and the Calico and Odessa Railroad, a railroad museum. For open desert, Rainbow Basin is a protected area 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 Yermo’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 San Bernardino County and the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA metro.
