Long-Term Socio-Economic Forecasts by County
The Transportation Economics Branch initiated this project in 2000 to assist local and regional agencies in their planning and travel forecasting efforts. The project provides a consistent set of long-term socio-economic forecasts for each county. Beginning in 2026, Socioeconomic Forecasts are produced by the Department of Finance (DOF) using a revised methodology. Forecasts published prior to 2026 use a different methodology and are not fully comparable.
Please submit a request to eab@dot.ca.gov for historical files not published on this webpage. Caltrans’ economic staff will send an e-copy of the file(s) via email if a document is unavailable to download.
