UCSB Economic Forecast Project

The Economic Forecast Project (EFP) is a UC Santa Barbara community-sponsored research department. Our mission is to provide reliable economic, demographic, health, and environmental data and analysis to our community of citizens, government, business, non-profit, and other users. To this end, the EFP maintains extensive databases of Santa Barbara County and the Central Coast. Our research is presented to local communities via the internet, publications, and events held across the Santa Barbara region throughout the year.
