About North Highlands

Unclaimed Property in North Highlands

North Highlands has accumulated substantial unclaimed property due to its proximity to McClellan Air Force Base, which closed in 2001, leaving behind thousands of final paychecks, pension contributions, and vendor payments that never reached former personnel and contractors. The Bancorp Bank and Capital One together hold over $24,000, primarily from dormant accounts and uncashed cashier's checks from the base closure and subsequent business relocations.

The Antelope Road corridor and areas near Watt Avenue have particularly high concentrations of unclaimed funds, likely due to the transient nature of military families and the closure of several credit unions that served base personnel. With Sacramento's urban sprawl pushing more residents into North Highlands over the past two decades, many newcomers remain unaware they may have left money behind with previous banks or employers in other California cities.
