Note: Estimates below are based upon a formula developed by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). National averages derived from AVMA surveys in 2001, estimated that, in 2001, 36.1% of American households owned a pet dog, 31.6% own a pet cat and 4.6% own a pet bird. These percentages were then calculated against household statistics from the 2000 U.S. Census for Los Angeles County. These are, of course, estimates with an unknown margin of error, not accounting for demographic factors such as household ethnic backgrounds, ages, homeownership, or presence of small children - all factors which may effect the actual number (see Characteristics of Dog & Cat-Owning Households in the City of Los Angeles).
Estimates are based upon the 2010 Census of Number of Households
