ho?'ze?]) is the third-largest city in the U.S. state
of California and is the county seat of Santa Clara
County.
The city is located at the south end of the San Francisco
Bay, within the informal boundaries of Silicon Valley,
and is the largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area.
As of 2005, it reported an estimated population of 904,522,
making it the most populous city in Northern California
(it surpassed San Francisco in 1989) and third most
populous city in the state, after Los Angeles and San
Diego. The Census Bureau update for 2005 indicates San
Jose has overtaken Detroit as the United States' tenth
most populous city. All of these figures refer to the

in the U.S.
