Danville is located in the San Ramon Valley with around 42,000 people. The town has not incorporated but is considered an upscale suburb of Oakland and San Francisco. There are many exclusive and expensive houses that are located in Danville, while still preserving the town’s characteristics. Even though Danville is small, it is fairly self-sufficient with plenty of shopping, but only a couple of commercial centers.1 However, the shopping is mainly little shops versus the heavy-duty shopping that brings a lot of visitors, such as shopping malls. The downtown is considered rustic, bringing in visitors for its dining and shopping. The town has implemented strict restrictions for large development in order to keep its quaint charm. Even though the town does not have its own medical center, there are plenty nearby when the need occurs. This is a charming town that is perfect for an afternoon of shopping, followed by a quick bite to eat.

Danville is one of the wealthiest cities in California and also one of the most visited, due to its large number of country clubs and expensive real estate. The high quality of life in Danville has been maintained over the years, and the poverty rate for Contra Costa County is generally quite low, at 9.4 percent.2 This is, in fact, the second lowest value for the state of California. Statistics have shown that the mental illness rate is proportional to the poverty rate.
Thus, the overall mental illness rate for Contra Costa County is quite low. However, diseases such as autism, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are still found, although in a very small percentage of the city�s population.
The reason for the low mental illness statistics could be attributed to the excellent facilities available for Contra Costa County residents.
