Tulare County, California County Profile: View Demographic Information

Tulare County, California is an hour from Bakersfield and Fresno, but a world away. We are the gateway to Sequoia National Park - a destination for millions of global tourists. Tulare County is also a transportation hub along the Hwy 99 Corridor with access to Hwy 198 and I-5. Access and proximity make it easy for businesses to hire from throughout the region and to serve a much larger customer base from Tulare County. Within the county itself, we are known for hardworking agricultural and manufacturing workers, a low cost of living, an easy permitting process, and a supportive business climate.
