Livability — San Joaquin County

San Joaquin County scores 33.2 on the Hometown Numbers Livability Index, ranked #55 of 58 ranked California counties. Violent crime: 660.9 reported violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2024 (FBI Crime Data Explorer; score 11.4, where a higher score means a lower rate). Full rankings: California livability rankings.

Method: percentile rank (count below + 0.5 × count equal) ÷ N × 100, lower-better measures inverted; composite is the mean of available component scores, rounded to 1 decimal; a county needs at least 5 of 7 components or it is unranked, never estimated. Vintages: ACS 2024 5-year (2020–2024) for housing affordability, income, and commute; FBI Crime Data Explorer 2024 for violent crime; County Health Rankings 2025 release for graduation and uninsured. Unemployment (BLS LAUS 2024) is missing for every California county because the BLS public API was unreachable (HTTP 503) on 2026-10-25; composites rest on the other components and will be recomputed if BLS data becomes available.

Public schools — San Joaquin County

Schools physically located in San Joaquin County.

248 public schools in 51 school districts, from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES EDGE Public School Locations, 2024–25 school year).

1 schools in the NCES 2024–25 locations list for this county are not shown because they are not currently open: Unbound Stockton Community (status 7) — temporarily closed (status 6) or scheduled to open within 2 years (status 7) under NCES CCD operational status codes.

School performance (proficiency): district-level proficiency values are published in the federal Ed Data Express tool and are retrievable by CSV export, but they have not yet been added to this page — the export requires a live-browser download (direct requests to the tool are blocked), so no proficiency figures are shown rather than substituted ones.

Neighbor comparison

How San Joaquin County’s General Fund spending per resident and fund-balance share compare with adjacent counties, computed from each dashboard’s own published figures.

GF figure: General Fund adopted total, FY 2025-26.

Fund-balance % dashed: June 30, 2025 balance $382,458,987 is prior-year ending, not FY 2025-26 ending

Amador County: GF total dashed: no GF expenditure total published

Calaveras County: GF total dashed: no GF expenditure total published ($168,085,222 on the page is Total liabilities, not GF expenditures)

Contra Costa County: Fund-balance % dashed: available fund balance $244,687,965 is beginning, not ending

Stanislaus County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published ($72,186,652 funding required is a gap, not ending)

Sacramento County: No Sacramento County dashboard in this dataset (no county GF figure exists here); a city dashboard in the county, if any, does not supply a county figure.

Per-capita GF spending = the dashboard’s published General Fund total ÷ county population (ACS 2024 5-year, table B01003). Fund balance % = published GF ending balance ÷ GF total for the same fiscal year unless noted.

— in the fund-balance column means no GF ending balance is published on that dashboard (adopted budgets typically state only a January 1 balance).

Neighbor rows are county figures for the counties adjacent to the home county (U.S. Census Bureau County Adjacency File, 2024; out-of-state neighbors excluded).

Sources & notes

• Only source used: County of San Joaquin, 2025-2026 State Controller Schedules (Schedules 1–5), posted by the County Administrator’s Office. State Controller Schedules. Adoption date (June 17, 2025) is from the county’s June 18, 2025 board news post, linked from the county’s board news page.
• Sum checks: governmental exact ($2,141,808,467 both sides); other funds exact ($865,044,013 both sides); all funds exact ($3,006,852,480 both sides); governmental sources by source exact ($2,018,830,341); special revenue lines exact ($661,757,402); General Fund balance components exact ($382,458,987).
• What is not claimed: the adopted budget book narrative was not retrieved (fetch timed out) and no narrative figures are used; the schedules’ General Fund total ($1,367,820,146) differs from the roughly $1.6 billion General Fund figure in third-party meeting summaries, and the gap is not reconciled here; no function-level breakdown or outstanding-debt total is shown from these schedules.
• Jurisdiction palette: no verified San Joaquin County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
