Riverside County, often overlooked compared to tech hubs like the Bay Area, experienced remarkable growth during the pandemic, becoming California's top performer in population and job expansion. With a population rise of 110,000 amidst a broader statewide decline, it highlights a migration trend driven by remote work. The county's robust logistics sector thrived, enabling it to dominate growth compared to nearby counties. Riverside's impressive performance stands out in contrast to Los Angeles and San Francisco, which faced notable population losses.
One of the major driving forces behind Riverside's population surge was its robust job market.
Riverside roughly tripled the state's No. 2 county for population growth, San Joaquin, at 36,900.
