Technical Background Report

The Sacramento 2040 team developed a Technical Background Report, which takes a “snapshot” of Sacramento’s current (2020) trends and conditions. The report provides a detailed description of a wide range of topics within the city, such as demographic and economic conditions, land use, public facilities, and environmental resources. The report provides decision-makers, the public, and local agencies with context for making policy decisions. You can review the report at the below link.
