Rankings
In 2020, U.S. News & World Report named Stockton as America's most diverse city.[75]
Due to a number of socio-economic problems, Stockton has been subject to a series of negative national rankings:

In a 2010 Gallup poll, Stockton was tied with Montgomery, Alabama for the most obese metro area in the US with an obesity rate of 34.6 percent.[76]
In the February 2012 issue of Forbes, the magazine ranked Stockton the eighth most miserable US city, largely as a result of the steep drop in home values and high unemployment.[42]
In 2012 the National Insurance Crime Bureau ranked Stockton seventh in auto theft rate per capita in the US.[77]
In 2012, Stockton was ranked as the tenth most dangerous city in America and the second most dangerous in California (behind Oakland).[78]
In 2013, Stockton was ranked as the third least literate city in the U.S. in a study by Central Connecticut State University, with less than 17% of adults holding a college degree,[79] and ABC.com ranked the city as the third least literate of all U.S. cities with a population of more than 250,000 behind Bakersfield, California, and Corpus Christi, Texas.[80]
