==Geography==
East Quincy is located at {{coord|39|56|7|N|120|54|28|W|type:city}} (39.935153, -120.907670).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|12.1|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land.
===Climate===
East-Quincy is underlain by metasedimentary rock of the [[Shoo Fly Complex]].<ref>Saucedo, G.J., and Wagner, D.L., 1992, Geologic map of the Chico quadrangle: California Division of Mines and Geology, Regional Geologic Map 7A</ref> Its dominant silica-rich clastic material weathers to a stony coarse soil which includes the well or somewhat excessively drained alluvial fan material (mainly Forgay very gravelly sandy loam) on which most of Quincy's businesses and homes have been built. Cultivated land north of the residential area lies on poorly drained loam, silt loam or fine sandy loam.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/gmap/|title=SoilWeb: An Online Soil Survey Browser - California Soil Resource Lab|website=casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu|access-date=3 June 2018}}</ref>
