Metros with diverse technology bases and a concentration in services and biotechnology will perform well. Oakland and Santa Rosa will benefit from diverse tech sectors and being low-cost locations near Silicon Valley and San Francisco. San Diego and Boston are somewhat insulated due to their diversity and biotechnology. Provo-Orem, Utah should withstand the tech correction with minor damage because of its software sector. After moving up 19 places this year, the Washington, D.C. metro area is well positioned with tech services and a dependence on the federal government.
