What's New Eastvale?

A Message from Mayor Todd Rigby

As I'm sure you'll read, Fortune recently ranked the City of Eastvale the seventh best place to raise a family in the nation and the number one best place to raise a family in California!

On behalf of the Eastvale City Council, I'd like to express how proud we are of this distinction. This ranking is possible because of Eastvale's residents, businesses, public safety officers, and the City team.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am proud to be your Mayor!

Eastvale Ranked Number Seven in the Nation

and Number One in California

We are thrilled to announce that Fortune recently ranked the City of Eastvale the seventh best place to raise a family in the nation and the number one best place to raise a family in California!

Fortune evaluated nearly 2,000 cities, towns, suburbs, exurbs, villages, and townships that had between 25,000 and 750,000 residents across all 50 states in the U.S. This range provided a broad universe of places that offered high-quality amenities in communities with a hometown feel. To analyze each place, Fortune collected more than 215,000 data points across five broad categories: education, aging resources, general wellness, financial health, and livability. After analyzing nearly 2,000 cities, Fortune deemed Eastvale the seventh best place to raise a family in the nation and is the only California city to make the list.

City Council Busy Lobbying

in Washington DC

Mayor Todd Rigby, Mayor Pro Tem Christian Dinco, and members of our City team recently visited Washington DC to speak with members of Congress regarding the acquisition of a new and independent ZIP code for the city of Eastvale!

Our hope is that the team’s lobbying efforts would encourage Congress and the White House to address this important community issue. We’ll keep the community updated on the progress so stay tuned!

On June 13, 2023, Senator Richard Roth’s Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 3, which urges Congress and the President to give the City of Eastvale its own ZIP code, passed both houses of the State Legislature and made its way to the Governor’s desk! This bill was co-sponsored with the support of Assemblymembers Sabrina Cervantes and Bill Essayli.
