Retirement Tax Treatment
California taxes most retirement income but leaves Social Security benefits untouched, which benefits many fixed-income retirees.

Fact text
- A lost humpback whale named Humphrey wandered 60 miles up the Sacramento River to visit Rio Vista in 1985, drawing crowds before rescuers guided him back to sea.
- Rio Vista was the very first city in California to fluoridate its water, then voted to rip out the equipment five years later after a local chiropractor organized a referendum against it.
- The town's name is a grammatical mix-up: combining Spanish words for 'river' and 'view' in the wrong order, and a postmaster's wife suggested it anyway.
- Rio Vista's high school students run their own classic rock radio station, KRVH 'Radio Rio.'
- Rio Vista is home to the largest American producer of Belgian endive in the United States, not exactly what you'd guess from a Sacramento River Delta town.
