The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
San Diego County's inflation rate of 3.8% is lower than the national average of 4.2%, partly due to higher existing gasoline prices in California. However, this still puts significant pressure on lower-income residents in the region, as prices are generally higher in San Diego than in many other parts of the U.S.
