Step 1 : Introduction to the question " In which country is the unincorporated community Slab City located? "
...
Slab City is an unincorporated off-the-grid alternative lifestyle community consisting largely of snowbirds (people who go south for the winter) in the Salton Trough area of the Sonoran Desert, in Imperial County, California, United States.
It took its name from concrete slabs that remained after the World War II Marine Corps Camp Dunlap training camp was torn down. It is known for attracting people who want to live outside mainstream society. It is widespread, on roughly 640 acres (2.59 sq ki) of public land. Located near the east shore of the Salton Sea, it is 100 miles (160 kilometers) northeast of San Diego and 169 mi (272 km) southeast of Los Angeles. It is about 50 mi (80 km) from Mexico.
The area has a large amount of sunshine year round, due to its stable descending air and high pressure. According to the Köppen climate classification system, Niland has a hot desert climate. The population is seasonal, and balloons up to about 4,000 during the winter, by some estimates, and dwindles to about 150 in the summer.
According to the "San Diego Union-Tribune's" Fred Dickey in 2012, the most common source of income among the permanent residents is "probably" SSI checks. In 2020, Ranker indicated that Slab City's income mainly comes from tourists and donations. In 1995, almost every resident of Slab City collected disability benefits, social security or unemployment. Another steady source of income at the time was selling salvaged goods to visitors.
