Measuring Economic Distress in San Francisco

Collaboration for Poverty Research Associate Director Christopher Wimer and CPI graduate fellow Emily Ryo present a new working paper on economic distress in San Francisco: the "San Francisco Distress Index," developed with support from the San Francisco Foundation and New America Media, shows that economic distress in San Francisco has nearly doubled since the beginning of the Great Recession, and stands well higher today than in the months and years following the dot-com bust.
