Census data for Santa Clara and San Benito counties

The San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metro is two counties, Santa Clara and San Benito. The Office of Management and Budget draws metro boundaries one whole county at a time, around an urban area of at least 50,000 people, and adds neighbors that pass its commuting rules. San Mateo County belongs to the separate San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metro. Our California page lines the metro up against the state’s others.

The two counties had 50,322 employer establishments in 2023, 4.9 percent of California’s, yet 7.2 percent of its employees. They paid $180,141 a year on average, 2.07 times the state average and 2.64 times the US. An establishment here averaged 23.6 employees on the March 12 count, against 15.9 for California. Of the metro’s establishments, 24.7 percent have 10 to 99 employees, against 23.0 percent statewide and 24.6 percent for the US.

The rows start with the three most concentrated of the 20 sectors in Growigami’s data set, then the practices and trades we write for, the local marketing trade and manufacturing. The last column compares a sector’s share of metro jobs with its share of US jobs.
