About San Diego, CA
San Diego is the second-largest city in [California](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/locations/shipping-container-california) and the eighth-largest in the United States, with a city population of approximately 1.4 million and a county population of more than 3.3 million. The regional economy spans defense and military, life sciences, biotechnology, telecommunications, tourism, and international trade, generating a gross regional product of over $260 billion.
San Diego is home to the largest concentration of military assets in the world. The U.S. Navy is the city's largest single employer, with Naval Base San Diego supporting more than 110,000 active-duty service members and tens of thousands of civilian defense contractors across the region. Major defense and technology employers include Qualcomm, General Atomics, Northrop Grumman, Cubic, and General Dynamics NASSCO. UC San Diego, the county's second-largest employer, serves as a major anchor for the region's life sciences cluster, supporting more than $1.7 billion in annual research funding and housing Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
San Diego County is also home to more small farms (less than 9 acres) and organic producers than any other county in the United States. The region's 5,000-plus farms generate a $1.8 billion annual economic impact, specializing in high-value boutique crops including avocados, ornamental nursery plants, and cut flowers. For these smaller operations, [shipping containers](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/shipping-containers-for-the-farming--agriculture-industry) offer practical on-property storage for equipment, supplies, and harvested product without the cost or permanence of a dedicated agricultural building.
### What We Love About San Diego, CA
San Diego carries a well-earned reputation as one of the most livable cities in the country. With more than 300 days of sunshine per year and 70 miles of coastline, the city draws residents and visitors from across the world to beaches like La Jolla Cove, Coronado, and Pacific Beach.
Balboa Park is one of the largest urban cultural parks in the country, home to 17 museums, multiple performing arts venues, and the San Diego Zoo, which is consistently ranked among the top zoological parks in the world. The park's architecture draws from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, and its grounds remain one of the most visited attractions in Southern California.
The Gaslamp Quarter is the center of downtown San Diego's dining and entertainment scene, built around Victorian-era commercial buildings and a walkable street grid. North of downtown, the neighborhoods of Little Italy and North Park have grown into recognized destinations for food and local culture, with some of the most celebrated independent restaurants in California.
San Diego's position on the U.S.-Mexico border gives the city a distinct cultural character. Tijuana is 20 miles from downtown San Diego, and cross-border movement for commerce, dining, and culture is a routine part of life for many residents. The region's proximity to the Pacific Rim also shapes its international business and research community, with direct trade and academic ties to Japan, South Korea, and other Pacific partners.
