El Dorado Hills Business Confidence Survey
The survey is a five question, multiple choice survey to measure the level of optimism among local business leaders in the community and gives a subjective measure of where the economy is headed. This bi-annual survey will ask local business owners and managers how they feel about the prospects on their own companies in the year ahead and they feel about the local and national economics over the next 12 months. The survey produces valuable results, giving insight on the expected changes in employment, sales, and profit among local businesses. The responses are aggregated and based on a score of 100. A score of 100 would imply there are no pessimistic views. A score of 90 implies 10 are pessimistic and 90 are not.

El Dorado Hills Economic Index Reports
The El Dorado Hills Economic Index focusses specifically on the performance of El Dorado Hill’s economy giving business leaders objective measures of where the economy has been, quarter to quarter and year to year. The index is measured using data from five main topics, all equally weighted and seasonally adjusted, using 2007 as a base year. The report measures sales tax, transient occupancy tax, total dollar value of building permits issued, employment, and average housing sales prices. These components are used in the index because they provide a timely and accurate snapshot of how El Dorado Hills is doing economically. Each of the components has their own in-depth report developed on a quarterly basis.
NOTE: New designs coming soon.
