The Inland Empire Outlook is a newsletter analyzing economic and political trends shaping California’s fastest growing region.

The Inland Empire, the combination of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, has become highly consequential.  With over 4.1 million residents, it is the third largest metropolitan area in California and the 14th largest in the United States.  Remarkably, the Inland Empire now has a larger population than 24 states.  In addition, in recent decades, the region has emerged as an important center of trade and commerce.  But too often the Inland Empire has been overlooked by economic and political analysts. To fill this void, the Lowe Institute of Political Economy and the Rose Institute of State and Local Government—two prominent research institutes at Claremont McKenna College—have joined forces to publish Inland Empire Outlook.  This unique partnership will provide business and government leaders timely and sophisticated analysis of political and economic developments in this pivotal region.
