Is Santa Rosa diverse? Do people from different ethnic groups get along? Here's what two local experts had to say about diversity, inclusivity, and racism in Santa Rosa, California.

Santa Rosa is a diverse city with great outdoor activities nearby; for example, there are many hiking trails within the city borders. Bodega Bay is a 45-minute drive from Santa Rosa and San Francisco, which is an hour drive to the south. For those who enjoy visiting wineries, there are a few in the city of Santa Rosa and the county of Napa.

If moving to Santa Rosa, then you should consider three important variables before you make a decision: housing, job availability, and socio-cultural diversity. First, the combination of climbing rental rates, low vacancy availability, and a high population of people who rent in Sonoma County creates a challenging climate for someone looking to find secure housing in the current housing market. Second, there are currently few secure full-time jobs available to newcomers seeking a stable career transition. Third, due to 50s era urban planning, Santa Rosa is highly segregated by inequitable socio-economic and racial standards.
