In those 10 years, much has changed in our county. Early in this decade, every sector of our community came together to dream and plan our vision for the future. After extensive public dia- logue, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and San Bernardino Council of Governments in 2011 adopted a Countywide Vision that affirms the elements of a thriving county, including improved educational achievement, greater public safety, growing jobs, accessible recreation and well-being for all its residents. We committed to work collaboratively to see this hoped-for future become a reality. The San Bernardino County Community Indicators Report helps track how we are progressing toward this brighter future by providing an annual assessment of how the county fares across a range of indicators. On the following pages, you will see those areas where our county is doing well, and those areas where stubborn problems per- sist. This annual checking-in allows us the space to celebrate and learn from what is working, and to develop strategies to transform those areas that need improvement. In recognition of the 10-year anniversary of the report, the success stories sprinkled throughout the report highlight the positive change that can be accomplished working together over time. As residents, policymakers, educators, business and community leaders, we hope you will be inspired by what you read, and will continue to support the effort to advance our Countywide Vision. Indicator Selection Criteria Good indicators are objective measurements that reflect how a community is doing. They reveal whether key community attributes are improving, worsening, or remaining constant. The indicators selected for inclusion in this report: • Reflect broad countywide interests which impact a significant percentage of the population • Illustrate fundamental factors that underlie long-term regional health • Can be easily understood and accepted by the community • Are statistically measurable and contain data that are both reliable and available over the long-term • Measure outcomes, rather than inputs, whenever possible . Peer Regions To place San Bernardino County’s performance in context, many of the indicators in this report compare the county to the state, other regions, or the nation. We compare ourselves to four neighboring counties – Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles and San Diego – to better understand our position within the Southern California region. We also compare ourselves to three “peer” regions: Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Miami. These regions have been selected because they are considered economic competitors or good barometers for com- parison due to the many characteristics we share with them. 2019 INTRODUCTION 2 Countywide Vision We envision a complete county that capitalizes on the diversity of its people, its geography, and its economy to create a broad range of choices for its residents in how they live, work, and play. We envision a vibrant economy with a skilled workforce that attracts employers who seize the opportunities presented by the county’s unique advantages and provide the jobs that create countywide prosperity. We envision a sustainable system of high-quality education, community health, public safety, housing, retail, recreation, arts and culture, and infrastructure, in which development complements our natural resources and environment. We envision a model community which is governed in an open and ethical manner, where great ideas are replicated and brought to scale, and all sectors work collaboratively to reach shared goals. From our valleys, across our mountains, and into our deserts, we envision a county that is a destination for visitors and a home for anyone seeking a sense of community and the best life has to offer.
