In the February 2, 2011 issue of Forbes, the magazine gave Stockton the dubious distinction of being the “most miserable” US city, largely as a result of the steep drop in home values.
Central Connecticut State University surveys from 2005 and 2006 ranked the city as the least literate of all U.S. cities with a population of more than 250,000.
According to a Gallup poll, Stockton was tied with Montgomery, Alabama for the most obese metro area in the United States of America with an obesity rate of 34.6 percent.
Note to self: Take Stockton off the must-see list.
