The California Community College (CCC) system consists of 73 districts, including six in the San Diego & Imperial region: Grossmont-Cuyamaca, Imperial, Palomar, MiraCosta, San Diego, and Southwestern.1 The San Diego & Imperial Center of Excellence (COE) developed district profiles that provide an overview of demographics, household characteristics, leading industries, top occupations, and community college data within each district’s service area.
These reports are designed to help partners with grant writing, program development, and strategic planning by highlighting key community and workforce data for each district.
The San Diego & Imperial COE also developed an interactive Southwestern Community College District Dashboard2 to complement the data presented in this report. Located in the southern part of San Diego County, Southwestern Community College District (CCD) is a single-college district that serves the communities of Bonita, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City, Coronado, and San Diego. For the purpose of this report, Southwestern CCD is defined by the 11 ZIP codes in San Diego County listed in Exhibit 1.
Details about how these ZIP codes were selected are provided in the Appendix, Methodology. Exhibit 2 features facts about the district related to demographics, jobs, industries, and community college students.
