About Raisin City
Raisin City had 303 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 236 feet above sea level. A census-designated place (not a city).
The 2020 census counted 84 housing units in Raisin City, and about 55.0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That works out to about 111 housing units per square mile.
Raisin City was formerly called simply Raisin, and its first post office was established in 1907.
With only 84 housing units at the 2020 census, it is the smallest community on our list, and about 111 housing units per square mile means room between neighbors.
At about 236 feet, Raisin City shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and average rainfall of around 11 inches a year.
Setting your sprinkler timer
Set the days first, then the start time. Early morning is generally the best time, because less water evaporates. Check every program on the controller, because leftover days on a second program are the most common way a home waters more than it should.
If a zone puddles or runs onto the street, shorten the run time and add a second start, or have the heads checked. Water on pavement is waste in every city we serve.
Not sure your timer is set right? A free 21-point inspection checks the controller and every zone, and we can program it for Raisin City.
