San Joaquin & Solano County: Unemployment Rates for July 2009

August 25, 2009 in Unemployment | No comments

I was running some data today in various counties and wanted to share a bit here. The figures below are based upon information provided by the Employment Development Department. Since I do appraisals in multiple counties surrounding the Sacramento Region, it is very important for me to know understand real estate markets as well as possible. In appraisal jargon, knowing a local market is called ”geographic competency”.

In my mind, part of being in touch with a local market is to keep tabs on unemployment. Could the unemployment rate for a city be an indicator of the overall health of a local community sometimes? Or could rising unemployment impact housing prices and values? What else can unemployment rates tell us? What do you think?
