About the Region

California

California includes coastal metropolitan areas, the Central Valley, mountain communities, and desert cities. The Bay Area and Los Angeles are major urban examples, but neither represents the full range of places within the state.

Coastal influence, elevation, and inland location can produce very different temperature and rainfall patterns. Housing costs, transport, and access to services vary between cities and neighborhoods. Use the city’s own figures rather than treating statewide conditions as a local forecast or budget.
