Some interesting aspects I found in the 2022 Silicon Valley Index:
- The total population declined due to net emigration.
- Asian now constitutes 39% of the population, more than white (29%), Hispanic (24%), black (2%), and the others (6%).
- The median income ($138100) is about the twice the US value ($67300).
- Apple and Alphabet employed 12% of the total work force.
- Despite a relatively low household poverty rate of 5%, nearly 33% of all households do not earn enough money to meet their most basic needs without public or private/informal assistance.
- Non-residential development approvals hit an all-time high in FY 2020-21, with more than 21.5 million square feet of space approved.
