Santa Clarita Valley — By the Numbers
Providing vital data and information is just one of the important services and resources that the SCVEDC provides to local businesses.
Our “Econowatch” section below compiles monthly updates to various housing stats, commercial and industrial construction activities, as well as commercial vacancy rates and unemployment numbers for our region.
Most prominent of these resources come from our resident economist, Dr. Mark Schniepp. Every quarter Dr. Schniepp and the SCVEDC put out an Economic Snapshot.
These are more in-depth updates than Econowatch that include labor force and employment trends, residential and commercial real estate, hotel vacancy rates, and film activity data.
Keep an eye out for the Q4 2022 Snapshot and its accompanying podcast episode with Dr. Schniepp in March!
Each year for our Economic Outlook event Dr. Schniepp provides attendees with an in-depth presentation, working with the SCVEDC to compile a separate comprehensive data report called the Economic Outlook Book.
These economic forecasts are important for companies that need to have a short and long-term picture of what the economic trends will be and how that will affect the decisions they make.
This event is the only place to get economic data specific to the Santa Clarita Valley topics such as demographics, employment, residential and commercial real estate trends, new developments, and quality of life. If you missed the 2022 Outlook, it is available to download for free on our website!
To companies considering moving to the business-friendly Santa Clarita Valley, as well as their brokers and site selectors, the Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development strives to be a onestop shop to help close the deal.
