Danville is (technically) a city located in Contra Costa County, California, United States. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 41,715. It is in the local area still referred to as the Town of Danville and it still preserves the characteristics of a town — being compact, largely self sufficient as far as shopping goes, and having only a single commercial center. Its downtown is noted for its somewhat rustic charm, intensively upgraded owning to its now extremely affluent demographics and its popularity as a regional destination for dining and light shopping. Unlike a true city it does not have its own hospital, being well served by nearby regional medical centers, nor does it host the "heavy shopping" provided shopping malls located in nearby cities only a short freeway drive to the north or south. An exception to Danville's rustic image is a Costco location within city limits, although the store is near enough to Danville's shared boundary with San Ramon, California, that it is more integrated with the economy of the latter.
