Economic forecasts for the 2007 to 2030 period have been prepared for each county of California. A forecast for the entire state has also been developed and included. The forecasts utilize the most recent historical information through calendar 2006, available as of April 1, 2007 from a myriad of official state sources. The county forecasts of economic and demographic indicators are influenced by longer term forecasts of California and national indicators.

Dollar valued indicators have been deflated to constant 2006 dollars. Consequently, real economic variables can be directly compared across counties. The forecasts are developed by the California Economic Forecast, located in Santa Barbara, California. The forecast is provided as a public service to disseminate meaningful and consistent information about the California economy, on a county-by-county basis. The forecasts for the 2007-2030 period of time represent outputs from elaborate economic models developed for the sole purpose of forecasting local indicators for each California County. The forecast is prepared based on assumptions reflecting judgments made by the California Economic Forecast as of June 1, 2007. Actual results could vary materially from the forecast.
