A year ago, Silicon Valley was thriving.
Despite the move by many tech companies to fully reopen their offices last year after closing them at the start of the pandemic in 2020, the portion of Silicon Valley workers who worked from home actually rose last year to 35% from 28% in 2021 and just 6% in 2019, according to the report. That's the highest percentage of remote workers of any region in the country.
"While we can't perfectly measure this, we still think these are all Silicon Valley workers," Hitchcock said."So what's really happening is Silicon Valley has decided to distribute its workforce." That move could be a boon both to those people and the region's companies. People are frequently moving to places where housing is more affordable than in Silicon Valley.
At 8.9%, the vacancy rate for R&D space is at its lowest level in six years and its second lowest in the last 20, according to the report. Lab and industrial space, meanwhile, are hard to come by, with vacancy rates of 3.5% or less. Although venture funding for the Silicon Valley-San Francisco region fell 45% from the record highs of 2021 to $49.1 billion last year, it was still the second best year ever for the area, according to the report. Bay Area startups still account for a third of all venture funding nationwide — the largest share of any region.
