Just call it the $552-billion county. At least, that’s what it was before the coronavirus pandemic struck.
A new report released by the Santa Clara County Assessor’s Office this week provides an in-depth look at Silicon Valley at the apex of a historic, 10-year boom, just before COVID-19 upended everything.
