Simi Valley is in the region known as the Southwest Border Area. Simi Valley has a lot in common with the rest of the region but can also differ in some ways.
Just like the rest of the Southwest Border Region, Simi Valley has seen a population explosion, especially an increase in the Hispanic population.
Unlike the rest of the region, Simi Valley is in the county of Ventura where the percent of persons below the poverty level is less than 5%. Much of the Southwest Border Region has a poverty problem including the counties surrounding Ventura.
