It is located on the left bank levee of the Sacramento River, in southwestern Sacramento County between the towns of Freeport and Courtland. Hood is a very small agricultural community.
Hood is a very small-sized unincorportated community located in southwestern Sacramento County. State Route 160 is the main road through town with the Sacramento River on the west. Hood is about 18 feet above sea level. Hood was founded in the 1850s.
The Sacramento River and SR160 are the main transportation routes passing through Hood. It takes Hood working residents, on average, 25? minutes to commute to work.
