With no more than 26 inches of rain and 70º of temperature during the entire year, this municipality founded in the late years of the 1850s, seems to have the perfect weather for a community reporting $29650 as median household income and facing approximately 1/5 of its population living under extreme poverty. The topography of the homeland of the Pleasanton Reporter is not exactly regular and its almost 6.5 square miles of extension elevated 375 feet above sea level are sandy and broken, yet with an extensive percentage of moisture portions where the subsoil is rich in clay.
