Santa Barbara County Overview

Santa Barbara County is located approximately 100 miles north of Los Angeles and 300 miles south of San Francisco. Eight incorporated cities are located within the County: Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Lompoc, Goleta, Carpinteria, Guadalupe, Solvang, and Buellton. The largest employment categories include services, wholesale and retail trade, public administration, and manufacturing. The mild climate, picturesque coastline, scenic mountains, and numerous parks and beaches make the County a popular tourist and recreational area.

Population

When reviewing the County’s economic health, financial capacity, or delivery of municipal services to residents of unincorporated areas, the County compares itself with other counties (Benchmark Counties) from year to year. The eight Benchmark Counties are considered to have common characteristics including, but not limited to, the following: total population of more than 250,000 but less than 500,000; suburban to rural environments; do not contain a large metropolitan city; and are known for their scenic beauty and environmental focus.

Quality of Life

Health According to the 2014 Community Health Status Report released by the County of Santa Barbara Public Health Department, as a whole, the residents of Santa Barbara County are somewhat healthier than the average Californian. The residents of Santa Barbara County have lower rates of smoking, lung cancer, diabetes, and other health problems than those reported statewide. However, Santa Barbara residents are still affected by several preventable health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and liver disease that lead to premature death. While some health problems (e.g. diabetes, liver disease, and higher rates of teen birth) disproportionately impact Latinos, they have lower age-adjusted death rates in most disease categories.
