The real GDP per capita (chained 2005 dollars) was $69,542 in 2012, down from a peak of $72,024 in 2008.[7]

Adjacent San Jose–Sunnyvale–Santa Clara, CA MSA posted the highest per capita figures statewide at $90,528 in 2012.[8] Geography

There is a vast geographic diversity within this MSA. The region is composed of at least six terrains (continental, seabed, or island arc fragments with distinct characteristics) pushed together over millions of years by the forces of plate tectonics. There are several fault lines running under the Bay Area, such as the San Andreas, Calaveras, and Hayward Faults. There are two distinct regions of the San Francisco–Oakland–Hayward, CA MSA which are separated by the San Francisco Bay. These landscapes range from cool foggy mountains and temperate rainforest on the Peninsula and Marin, to semi­arid, near desert terrain in the easternmost portions of the East Bay. Transportation

Bay Area Rapid Transit serves all the counties except Marin. Golden Gate Transit serves Marin, with limited connections to San Francisco and Contra Costa, along with service to outlying Sonoma County. AC Transit serves Alameda and Contra Costa, with connections to San Francisco's transit hub. Commercial air travel is available via San Francisco International Airport, and Oakland International Airport.
