Hilgard Analytics is coming home to LA! Born in Los Angeles, Hilgard Analytics has always viewed LA as home—and now, we’re back—?headquartered in West Hollywood! As the 5th largest economy in the world ($3.9 Trillion GDP), California remains a global leader in innovation, economic resilience, and policy shifts that shape the nation. CA is also the most populous state, with 39.4 million residents. With the economic uncertainty brought by the new administration in Washington, DC, and the ongoing recovery from the LA fires, now more than ever, data-driven insights are critical for decision-making. Hilgard Analytics is here to help our clients navigate uncertainty, seize opportunities, and plan for the future. We’re excited for this next chapter and look forward to working on real estate and economic development projects alongside our LA network, policymakers, and business leaders to deliver high-impact research and analysis.
