 | Winner of the 100 Best Communities for Young People For the second time in three years, America’s Promise Alliance has named Sacramento County the 2008 winner of the 100 Best Communities for Young People. The 100 Best competition recognizes the 100 outstanding communities across America—large and small, rural and urban—that are the best places for young people to live and grow up. More than 300 communities in all 50 states applied for the honor this year. Sacramento County, which also represents seven incorporated cities, was selected in part because of the numerous agencies and programs committed to providing healthy, safe and caring environments for young people. | | |  | Air Quality Index Activity Chart The Air Quality Index Activity Chart can help you make decisions about outdoor activities on poor air quality days.
