Modesto hotels - About Modesto
Modesto is the county seat of Stanislaus County (sixth largest in agricultural industries), in the U.S. state of California. The California Census Bureau of 2008 estimates Modesto's population has reached 209,936.[citation needed] Its population has boomed for the last decade, becoming the sixteenth in the state and sixth inland behind Stockton, Bakersfield, Riverside, Sacramento, and Fresno. This proximity to major business centers has turned the agriculturally based city into a bedroom community. Over twenty percent of the workforce travels outside of the county to their place of employment. The area is plagued by some of the worst air quality in the nation, on occasion surpassing even that of Los Angeles. It is reported to have had the highest car theft per capita rate in the United States in 2005 and 2006. It dropped to fifth in 2007, but regained the top spot in 2008. In 2007, Modesto was named the worst city in America in Cities Ranked & Rated, 2nd Edition and one of the top three most dangerous metropolitan areas in California by Morgan Quitno. (It ranked second in 2006)
