There’s no denying it: there are plenty of places in California that are downright beautiful and full of excitement.

Unfortunately, not all towns and cities in CA are so lucky.

Just like in all U.S. States, there are definitely some boring places within California’s borders. You know the places: the ones where everyone has an AARP card and the most exciting thing they do all day is post a picture of their grandchild on Facebook.

Like Ross, for instance. In our latest analysis, we found that this city was the most boring city in all of California. But don’t feel bad if you’re a resident of Ross. There are plenty of other boring, lackluster places in California as well.

What we found was there are pockets in the San Francisco and Los Angeles area where a majority of the neighborhoods are over the age of 50, most people are married, and where there is a sheer lack of amenities. Sure, ‘fun’ is a short drive away, but in these cities proper, it can be a ghost town.

Here they are. Try not to jump out of your seat with excitement:

  1. Ross
  2. Hillsborough
  3. Woodside
  4. Los Altos Hills
  5. La Habra Heights
  6. Portola Valley
  7. Atherton
  8. Saratoga
  9. Rolling Hills Estates
  10. Indian Wells

Before you get all upset if your city’s name is on the list, rest assured that we didn’t use personal opinion when it comes to what classifies a city or town as “boring” or “exciting”. We crunched actual numbers to figure out which towns are statistically more boring.

But what we discovered is that not only are these places population with older, married families, but there’s nothing to do there anyways. They’re all cities with no real entertainment options, except for a trip to the local market.

How we determined the boring cities in the Golden State

In order to find the most mind-numbing and down-right boring places to live in California, we used the U.S. Census data to gather up all of the places in the state with populations greater than 2,000 people. That left us more than 450 cities in California to rank.

Then, we recorded the following boring criteria for each place:

  • % of Population Over 35 (Higher is more boring)
  • % of Married Household (Higher is more boring)
  • Average Age (higher is more boring)
  • % of Households With Kids (higher is more boring)
  • % of Households with People Over 65 (higher is more boring)
  • Population density (lower is more boring)

Next, we ranked each place according to the seven criteria above from 1 to 454. The lower the number, the more boring the place.

We averaged these rankings into an overall score, where again, the lowest score was the most boring, least fun, and/or mind-numbing. And, the winner, who’s celebration consisted of a long sigh, is: Sanibel.

But, like all U.S. states, there are good and bad, fun and boring, places everywhere you go. So read on for a look at the most boring places in California or hop down to the end of the page and check out the complete list for the state.

Grab your rocker and hold on.

This desert community near Palm Springs is the absolute oldest of the bunch. They rank 2nd in the least number of people under 35, and a total of 81% are in their senior years. So if you golf, that’s the highlight of your month.

That, folks, is a real snoozefest.

Now That You’re Asleep

On a list like this, there are usually no winners, but since California isn’t necessarily the most boring state in the United States, the cities on this list can at least take solace that there are, in fact, more boring cities in the country.

Just not these cities.

Where are the most exciting places in California? They are Davis, San Luis Obispo, Emeryville, Santa Cruz and Berkeley. So at least northern California has a lot of excitement. You just have to know where to look.

We also did research on the 10 Drunkest Cities in California. There are some real shockers on there.
