As capital to the largest U.S. state economy, the Sacramento-Roseville Arden-Arcade metro is a hub of public and private sector activity. Two major universities foster an educated workforce that draws new companies to the market. New job opportunities, in turn, foster population growth as more households seek residential options in less dense areas. Lying in the middle of the 450-mile-long Central Valley, the metro is comprised of four counties: Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer and Yolo. More than 2.4 million people call the area home, and unlike the nearby Bay Area, Sacramento is seismically quiet, making it an ideal location for data centers and cloud computing storage. The city of Sacramento is the most populous, at approximately 510,000 residents, followed by Elk Grove and Roseville.
