Almanac Map of City of Los Angeles

Source: U.S. Census Bureau & Almanac Research

Note: "Hispanic or Latino" is not considered a "race" by the Census. Rather, it is a cultural/ethnic classification that overlaps with race. Persons who identify themselves as "Hispanic or Latino"
must also identify themselves by a racial category or the category "Two or More Races." In fact, a large number of these persons identify themselves with the racial classification "white."

* WHERE DO OUR NUMBERS FOR EACH COMMUNITY COME FROM? Because the U.S. Census does not calculate statistics for individual communities within incorporated cities
(the Census hierarchy descending from nation, states, counties, cities/places, and census tracts), statistics above for each listed community within the City of Los Angeles are derived
from accumulated data for all census tracts determined by the Los Angeles Almanac to lie within each geographic community. We made use of zip code, city planning and neighbor
council maps to make these determinations. These are not official numbers offered by the City of Los Angeles nor by the U.S. Census Bureau for communities listed above. A number
of census tracts straddle more than one community or zip code and some even straddle city boundaries. Because a few census tracts within the City of Los Angeles do straddle city
boundaries and include numbers from outside the city, the accumulated total for all communities will be slightly different than official U.S. Census totals for the City of Los Angeles.
