Beacon Economics

Economic Research For The Inland Empire

Beacon Economics specializes in analyzing the highly diverse economies of the Inland Empire, one of California’s most vital growth regions.

Consisting of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, the Inland Empire makes up an economic area larger than Detroit, Seattle, San Diego, or Orange County.

Our economic research, speaking events, and partnerships in and about the Inland Empire are now produced and housed under Beacon Economics’ brand.
