Woodland contains nearly 56,000 residents. Over the past five years, the City added over 4,000
residents, posting a population growth rate stronger than the statewide average, but somewhat more limited than Yolo County and the Sacramento Region. During the next five years, Woodland’s population growth is projected to remain at a pace slower than the Sacramento Region, but exceed both the statewide average and Yolo County. Projections for the City show close to 61,000 residents in 2013. Woodland’s per capita income is just over $22,000. Although this income level is lower than the regional, statewide, and national averages, it is comparable to many of the smaller jurisdictions in the Sacramento Region. By 2013, per capita income in the City is projected to reach close to $26,000.
Woodland also benefits from a strong network of educational institutions. Woodland Joint Unified School District provides kindergarten through high school public education in the City (with 12 elementary schools, three middle schools, and two high
schools)—the District’s nearly 11,000 students benefit from many highly-regarded programs as well as the focus on academic
standards and career preparation. Woodland Community College, a recently accredited campus within the Yuba Community
College District, provides a number of academic, transfer, and enrichment programs to over 3,000 students throughout Yolo
County and beyond. The University of California, Davis, one of the world’s top-ranked research universities, is also in close
proximity to Woodland and enrolls more than 30,000 students in undergraduate and graduate programs. The larger
Sacramento Region is also home to California State University, Sacramento, the four Los Rios Community College District
campuses, Sierra College, other campuses in the Yuba Community College District, and several private educational
