Walnut Creek has a strong history and economic foundation built upon multiple, growing industries. As home to four major medical centers, the healthcare industry is thriving and expanding to a broad range of medical services. With major vehicle brands creating an “auto row,” the auto industry is a major contributor to the success of the community both in jobs generated and sales tax. And of course, Walnut Creek is well known for its booming retail and restaurant activity, creating a shopping and dining destination in the downtown area and citywide.

The city is also seeing growth in professional services and technology firms, creating a hub opportunity for the over 25,000 residents that work in these fields.
