Community Assessment
The Community Assessment Report was created in partnership with Broad Ripple Strategies (BRS) analyzing the qualitative and quantitative data inputs to identify key trends, issues, and opportunities facing Trinity County as it competes for the top jobs and talent in today’s economy.
To gain additional perspective on trends in workforce, economy, and quality of life and place, BRS compared Trinity County to three peer counties, Del Norte County, CA; Mendocino County, CA, and Plumas County, CA, the state of California, and the U.S.
