Strength in Numbers 2020 Edition

Each year, the 495/MetroWest Partnership publishes our Strength in Numbers report, highlighting our region’s advantages and successes. With the impact of COVID-19 causing damage and uncertainty in our nation's economy, this year's report focuses on our region's comparative resiliency in the face of COVID-19.

While every sector will face threats and challenges from the pandemic, our 35 communities are uniquely positioned to weather the storm, given our regional advantages including:

• A strong presence of invulnerable sectors

• A highly educated workforce

• Comparatively lower unemployment

• Competitively priced real estate
