contents Let $Ω$ be a smooth, bounded domain in $\mathbb R^3$ with connected boundary. It follows from work of Escobar that the Yamabe quotient of $Ω$ is at most the Yamabe quotient of a ball, and equality holds if and only if $Ω$ is a ball. We show that if equality almost holds then the following things are true: (i)$Ω$ is diffeomorphic to a ball; (ii) There is a small number $ε> 0$ such that $B(x,r) \subset Ω\subset B(x,r(1+ε))$; (iii) After suitable scaling, $Ω$ is Gromov-Hausdorff close to the unit ball when considered as a metric space with its induced length metric. We also give a qualitative comparison between $Q$ and the coefficient of quasi-conformality studied in the theory of quasi-conformal maps.
