In partnership with the Children and Families Commission of Orange County and County of Orange, OCBC provides research for the highly regarded Orange County Community Indicators Report.
The Community Indicators Report provides readers with an inside look at the overall well-being of the Orange County community – tracking business climate, health, education, public safety, and the status of our valuable natural environment. Over the years, we have learned how quickly conditions can change. For example, we have experienced the gamut of economic realities – from boom to bust. This year, the impact of the extended economic recession is reflected in nearly every indicator related to Orange County’s business climate.
Thankfully, recovery appears to be on the horizon. However, it will take time and hard work for businesses, local governments, and non-profit organizations to regain fiscal health. Public finance issues in particular loom large, with budgets strained to the breaking point, creating considerable momentum at the local, state and national levels in the realignment and reform of government finance, service delivery, and pension obligations.
