Riverside County gained significant recognition during the pandemic as California's top county for population and job growth, attracting 110,000 new residents and outpacing statewide losses. This surge is attributed to its booming warehouse-driven economy, which benefited from the increase in e-commerce. As remote work trends changed residence patterns, many moved to more affordable inland areas like Riverside, which provided a stark contrast to declining coastal areas, including Los Angeles and San Francisco. The county’s growth reflects broader shifts in economic activity and living preferences in California.
Riverside County's population surged by 110,000 during the pandemic, countering statewide declines, fueled by a thriving logistics industry and affordable living.
