Stockton is climate zone 12, and so is every ZIP code in San Joaquin County. With the zone settled, what actually varies on a Stockton project is the site itself.

The zone is settled — all of it
All 11 Stockton ZIP codes carry zone 12, and so do all 21 in San Joaquin County: Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, Lathrop, Ripon, Escalon and the Delta communities alike. There is no boundary to find inside the city, the county, or anywhere near either. Zone 12 is also the largest assignment in the state, covering about one ZIP code in seven.
What varies here is the ground, not the climate
Stockton is an inland deepwater port, reached from the bay by ship channel, and much of the city sits on Delta land at or barely above sea level. That has nothing to do with the climate zone and a great deal to do with how a building meets the ground.
Floor assemblies are the practical consequence. Whether a project sits on a slab or a raised floor over a crawl space, and how that floor is insulated, is an envelope input the report is built from — and on Delta ground the answer is more often a raised floor than it would be on the valley floor further south. Establishing the existing or proposed floor construction early removes the largest assumption in a Stockton model.
Permitting and scope
Work inside the city is permitted by Stockton rather than by San Joaquin County, and projects on unincorporated Delta land go to the county — though unusually, the zone is the same either way, so the jurisdiction changes the process and not the requirements.
With the zone fixed, what decides a Stockton report is what the work touches: conditioned floor area added, envelope altered, or heating, cooling and water-heating equipment replaced. The city's older central housing stock means alterations and additions are the common case, where existing construction has to be established or assumed by vintage.

Stockton projects fall in California climate zone 12. The zone drives the envelope and equipment requirements a report has to meet, and a single city can span more than one, so it is confirmed per address.
