Almanac Map of City of Los Angeles

 

Source: U.S. Census Bureau & Almanac Research

 

Notes: "Population of one race" refers to those who identified themselves to the Census as of one race only. "Population of two of more races"  refers to those who identified themselves as of at least two races. "Total Population"  is the combination of both.
 "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."
We have added a column under "Population of one race" that is titled "White (Not Hispanic or Latino)."

* 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 (see our list of census tracts assigned to each LA City 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 straddled city boundaries.  Nonetheless, our boundaries strictly follow census tract 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.
