| I. GENERAL PROFILE A. Introduction/Area
San Mateo County is located just south of
San Francisco County on the San Francisco Peninsula, San Mateo County's other borders are
the Pacific Ocean to the west, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties to the south, and San
Francisco Bay to the east, The Santa Cruz Mountains run north to south, dividing the
highly populated western region from the heavily populated eastern corridor stretching
from San Francisco in the north to Santa Clara County/Silicon Valley in the south, Because
San Mateo County offers a suburban atmosphere and convenient access to nearby employment
centers, it has long attracted residents who work in other parts of the Bay Area.
For the purpose of this report, San Mateo
County will be divided into the following four subareas: North County, Central County,
South County and Coastside.
North County,, the most populous
subarea in San Mateo county, lies just south of San Francisco County and includes
Brisbane, Broadmoor, Colma, Daly City. Pacifica, San Bruno and South San Francisco.
Central County includes those cities
between the Santa Cruz Mountains and San Francisco Bay, This subarea includes Belmont,
Burlingame, Foster City, Highlands, Hillsborough, Millbrae and San Mateo.
South County borders with Santa
Clara County to the south, San Francisco Bay to the west and the Santa Cruz Mountains to
the east, Atherton, East Palo Alto, Emerald Lake Hills, Menlo Park, North Fair Oaks,
Portola Valley, Redwood City, San Carlos, West Menlo Park and Woodside are located within
this subarea.
Coastside includes those cities and
unincorporated areas within and west of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Pacific Ocean is its
western border. El Granada, Half Moon Bay, Miramar, La Honda, Loma Mar, Montara, Moss
Beach, Pescadero and San Gregorio are combined to make up the least populated subarea in
San Mateo County.
B. Population
Of the five Bay Area counties, San Mateo County is only
larger than Marin County in total population, Text Table 1 shows the 1990 U.S. Census
population number and percent for San Mateo County distributed by the four subareas and
selected places within the subareas.
The total number of San Mateo County residents increased
9.6% between 1980 and 1990 according to the 1990 U.S. Census for a total population of
649,623. The North County subarea is the most populous subarea in the county with 35.6% of
the population followed by the Central County subarea with 30.5% of the county's
population. The cities of Daly City in the North subarea, San Mateo in the Central
subarea, and Redwood City in the South subarea contain the largest number of residents
with 14.2%, 13.2%, and 10.2% of the county's total population.
