Most "hillybilly" place in California? (San Diego, El Cajon: section 8, statistics)

[christopher0312]

The most "hillbilly" place in California, in all my travels, as a native Californian, is a little town about 30 miles west of Redding called Weaverville. It's like the backwoods of Georgia.

East County San Diego. I'm not even joking. I would call it "redneck" not hillbilly. I think hillbilly would be giving it a compliment. Not all of East County but most of it especially Lakeside. They have country western bars, rodeos, huge gas guzzling trucks, and mostly white people. It feels way different from the rest of San Diego. It's like everyone from the south and midwest moved there. I see the occasional confederate flag there too!

Happy Camp is being burned out by a wildfire, quite a few evacuations lately!

I don't know what the people are like there, I've only been cruising through the downtown on Google Map Street View. It takes too long to get there in a car because the road is so winding.

Most Hillbilly town, in my opinion, is probably Iowa Hill California.

It's also the last town in the United States to get landline phone service (2011)

And even then, only 25% of the residents signed up for it


Their "Hill Billy Days" annual fundraiser for the little firehouse is coming up soon. See y'all on Oct 11th 2014

Some people are really clueless what hillbilly means. Hillbillies don't live in half a million dollar homes. I've seen some necks with expensive houses but hillbilly? Nope. Hillbilly can even mean outhouse.


But, if you see a white guy driving a lifted truck, be afraid, be very afraid lol

Barstow. Lots of meth-heads & gangbangers, also, just to keep it interesting.

Isn't some of that hill country up above Orovile, sometimes referred to as "Little Missouri" (as in the Ozarks)?! Looked at property up there one day, and after meeting some of the 'locals', I swear, all that was missing was the theme music from Deliverance!

Its pretty much the truth. My sister has lived up there for years. There are several kinds of people - those that work in the timber (and have for generations), pot farmers, tweakers, old hippies and a few retirees. I see them in town regularly and I've never seen people like that any where else in the state (and I've lived in other areas of the Sierra). Some of them literally look like they've been marrying cousins for generations.

Actually, people in the Ozarks are much more clean-cut and normal.

The area up around Alta is a good one for that. Take 80 up past Colfax toward Nevada until you see the sign for Alta.
Go uphill out of town, turn off to the left on Sugarpine road, and drive. This is best done with a 4x4. Between there and Culbertson Rd. is pretty hillbillyish.
