What Woodland's numbers say about water damage
Woodland is one of the most established suburbs tracked here — 62,513 people (2025 estimate), up just 2.4% since 2020[3]. It covers 17.1 square miles (3,666 residents per square mile, the 6th densest), sits entirely in Yolo County, in ZIP codes 95776, 95695[4].
Woodland mixes 11% of homes built since 2010 and 48% before 1980[2]: new supply lines and water heaters in one house, aging pipe and original valves in the next — so where a leak starts depends a lot on the address.
2 ZIP codes cover Woodland — 95776 (66% of the city's land), 95695 (34% of the city's land)[7].

How a leak spreads inside a wall
Water on the move: it spreads across floors and wicks upward into drywall until it is stopped.
