About Stanislaus County

Stanislaus County is located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, the geographical center of California. The county, with an economy and heritage deeply rooted in the agricultural sector, is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing regions of the state.

With low educational attainment and high poverty, Stanislaus County’s regional economy is not strong enough to create the volume and type of opportunities needed to break the cycle of economic distress.
