About Davis

Unclaimed Property in Davis

Davis's substantial unclaimed property total of $16.5 million reflects the city's unique position as a university town with a highly mobile population. UC Davis students and faculty frequently move without updating addresses with financial institutions, leaving behind security deposits, final paychecks, and dividend payments.

The high concentration of funds held by Pacific Gas & Electric Company ($452,400) and Sutter Valley Medical Foundation ($69,700) points to Davis residents' frequent relocations and job changes in the academic and healthcare sectors. Many properties likely originate from the areas near the UC Davis campus and downtown Davis, where rental turnover is highest.

The city's proximity to Sacramento and the Bay Area means many former residents have relocated for career opportunities, inadvertently leaving money behind with their former employers, banks, and utility companies.
