Bakersfield might be a more sleepy town than others (even though it is top 10 as far as city population goes in CA), which means that rents inherently grew a little slower as well.  On average, Bakersfield has seen around 2% rent growth yearly, but in the past year we have seen 4.4% rent growth and year-over-year growth is also around 3.3%.  The average price per square foot for rent in Bakersfield is now around $1.12.

Current State Of The Bakersfield Housing Market

Economic Forecasts in Bakersfield, CA

Bakersfield has seen job growth in the recent past.  In the past year Bakersfield has seen a 0.5% decrease in unemployment, however, with COVID 19 the new numbers are bound to be higher.  On the whole, the labor force in the area is set working with essential businesses such as agriculture, oil, transportation, etc.  This, in my opinion, will be a savior of the long term effects that could have been due to the shelter in place orders.
