Unclaimed Property in Fullerton
Fullerton's substantial unclaimed property cache reflects its unique position as both a college town and longtime corporate hub in North Orange County. The presence of California State University, Fullerton means thousands of students and faculty have moved away over decades, leaving behind security deposits, final paychecks, and refunds.
Major employers like Beckman Coulter, Alcoa Fastening Systems, and various aerospace contractors that downsized or relocated have contributed significantly to these totals. Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club's $296,100 represents decades of unclaimed insurance refunds and policy dividends, while Citibank's $168,200 stems from dormant checking and savings accounts from when they maintained a stronger retail presence in the area.
The neighborhoods around Csuf campus and the historic downtown district near the Fullerton Transportation Center likely contain higher concentrations of unclaimed property due to the transient nature of student housing and the area's role as a commuter hub.
