Growth

As one of the fastest continually growing cities in California, Beaumont leads the region in development opportunities. Contributing to this growth are the city’s many advantages, including available prime freeway-frontage land, hundreds of acres of industrial space, and a growing population with high education levels and incomes. 

4th
Largest Economy in the World

In April 2025, data from the International Monetary Fund and the Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed that California’s nominal GDP had surpassed that of Japan, securing the State’s position as the 4th largest economy in the world.

Beaumont has grown rapidly over the last two decades, with a current population that is four times greater than in the year 2000. The city and Beaumont Economic Development work to strategically guide the development of Beaumont to spur new economic development opportunities and improve the quality of life of residents.
