South County San Diego<\/h4>

South County San Diego covers the area south of downtown San Diego to the Mexican-American border, as well as Coronado Island. Industry and shipyards are prominent in this region, as is residential and business development.

One such preserve is the Tijuana River Estuary, whose watershed includes both San Diego in the United States and Tijuana in Mexico. South County San Diego is also home to an Olympic Training Center, Mile of Cars (an established auto association), and the San Diego Naval Base.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

People <\/h4>
\n

Residents in South County San Diego are diverse culturally, socioeconomically, and by world region of geographic origin. They are environmentally conscious, follow trends, and like a good bargain. All age groups use technology to varying degrees though many are not dependent on technology. Unemployment can be high in some areas, but labor force participation is average or above average in most areas of South County San Diego. The workforce of this community is both hard working blue collar laborers and white collar professionals, with a significant portion of the population having obtained some college education or earned a college degree. Women\u2019s paid employment can be low in this area because many women stay at home to care for children or aging parents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Environment <\/h4>
\n

South County San Diego has many areas with high pollution scores and low incomes as calculated by CalEnviroScreen<\/a>, representing a population vulnerable to pollution related issues. \u200b\u200b High rates of dust and pollution particles in disadvantaged communities may increase the spread of viruses, worsening the COVID-19 crisis in communities with already low defenses. Additionally, some parts of the area lie in high fire threat districts. These environmental qualities could qualify some residents for rebates and incentives for Solar Power<\/a>, Plug-In Vehicles<\/a> (and EV Charging), or Energy Storage<\/a> installations, lowering the cost of these installations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Energy Independence <\/h4>
