In 2004, it was announced that air freight giant DHL was considering the base for its new Southern California hub; however, competition from nearby San Bernardino International Airport and Ontario International Airport, as well as opposition from residents of fast-growing Riverside and Moreno Valley, reduced the viability of its bid.
In the base the population was spread out with 37.0% under the age of 18, 8.1% from 18 to 24, 35.1% from 25 to 44, 14.9% from 45 to 64, and 4.9% who were 65 years of age or older.
