Housing, property taxes, employment, healthcare access and other regional characteristics can add useful context to the picture of life in Sunset.

Current NarrowTheList data for Sunset shows a population of about 5,587. These local figures become more useful when read together with county-level tax, housing, foreclosure and demographic conditions rather than treated as isolated city statistics.
