City Boundary
This layer contains information for locating past and present legal city boundaries within Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works provides the most current shapefiles representing city annexations and city boundaries on the Los Angeles County GIS Data Portal. True, legal boundaries are only determined on the ground by surveyors licensed in the State of California. Numerous records are freely available at the Land Records Information website, hosted by the Department of Public Works.Principal Attributes:NO: The row number in the attribute table of the PDF Annexation Maps. (See Below)
ANNEX_No: These values are only used for the City of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
NAME: The official annexation name.
TYPE: Indicates the legal action.
A - represents an Annexation to that city. D - represents a Detachment from that city. V - is used to indicate the annexation was void or withdrawn before an effective date could be declared. 33 - Some older city annexation maps indicate a city boundary declared 'as of February 8, 1933'.
ANNEX_AREA: is the land area annexed or detached, in square miles, per the recorded legal description.

Population by age groups, race and gender, and the poverty by race is attached to the split tract geography to create this split tract with population and poverty data. Split tract data is the product of 2020 census tracts split by 2023 incorporated city boundaries and unincorporated community/countywide statistical areas (CSA) boundaries as of July 1, 2023. The census tract boundaries have been altered and aligned where necessary with legal city boundaries and unincorporated areas, including shoreline/coastal areas. Census Tract:Every 10 years the Census Bureau counts the population of the United States as mandated by Constitution. The Census Bureau (https://www.census.gov/)released 2020 geographic boundaries data including census tracts for the analysis and mapping of demographic information across the United States. City Boundary:City Boundary data is the base map information for the County of Los Angeles. These City Boundaries are based on the Los Angeles County Seamless Cadastral Landbase. The Landbase is jointly maintained by the Los Angeles County Assessor and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW). This layer represents current city boundaries within Los Angeles County. The DPW provides the most current shapefiles representing city boundaries and city annexations. True, legal boundaries are only determined on the ground by surveyors licensed in the State of California.Countywide Statistical Areas (CSA): The countywide Statistical Area (CSA) was defined to provide a common geographic boundary for reporting departmental statistics for unincorporated areas and incorporated Los Angeles city to the Board of Supervisors. The CSA boundary and CSA names are established by the CIO and the LA County Enterprise GIS group worked with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Unincorporated Area and Field Deputies that reflect as best as possible the general name preferences of residents and historical names of areas. This data is primarily focused on broad statistics and reporting, not mapping of communities. This data is not designed to perfectly represent communities, nor jurisdictional boundaries such as Angeles National Forest. CSA represent board approved geographies comprised of Census block groups split by cities.Data Fields:CT20: 2020 Census tractFIP22: 2023 City FIP CodeCITY: City name for incorporated cities and “Unincorporated” for unincorporated areas (as of July 1, 2023) CSA: Countywide Statistical Area (CSA) - Unincorporated area community names and LA City neighborhood names.CT20FIP23CSA: 2020 census tract with 2023 city FIPs for incorporated cities and unincorporated areas and LA neighborhoods.

In 2014 and 2015, The LA County Enterprise GIS team under the Geographic Information Officer worked with the Unincorporated Area Deputies and Field Deputies of each Board Office to establish names that reflect the desires of residents. CSAs differ from the more informal Community geographies because:They are focused on broad statistics and reporting, not mapping of communities.They represent board approved names assigned to Census block groups and city boundaries.They cover the entire unincorporated County (no gaps).There are not overlapping areas. Additionally, CSAs use the following naming conventions:All names are assumed to begin with Unincorporated (e.g. Unincorporated El Camino Village) which will not be part of the CSA Name (so the name of the Statistical Area would be El Camino Village).Names will not contain “Island.” Beginning each name with Unincorporated will distinguish an area from any surrounding cities. There may be one or more exceptions for certain small areas (e.g. Bandini Islands)A forward slash implies an undetermined boundary between two areas within a statistical geography (e.g. Westfield/Academy Hills or View Park/Windsor Hills)Certain established names may include hyphens (e.g. Florence-Firestone)Aliases may be defined in parentheses (e.g. Unincorporated Long Beach (Bonner/Carson Park))The original set of names were derived from community names used in the 2011 Redistricting process, chosen with the assistance of the Board of Supervisors.Updates: 2025 March: CSA update for Duarte City annexation; and Arcadia City detachment and Monrovia City annexation (effective date 3/17/2025).2024 December: CSA data update to include Whittier City annexation (effective date 11/13/2024).2024 April: CSA data updated to include La Verne City annexation (effective date 4/1/2024).2023 December: CSA data updated to include "Unincorporated Charter Oak" (south of 10 Freeway) into "Unincorporated Covina".2023 June: CSA data was updated to include "Kinneloa Mesa" community, which was a part of Unincorporated East Pasadena.2023 January: Updated layer schema to include feature type (“FEAT_TYPE”) field, which can be one of land, water, breakwater, or pier (consistent with the City Boundaries layer).2022 December: CSA data was updated to incorporate the “Tesoro Del Valle” annexation to the city of Santa Clarita. Unincorporated Valencia is now completely annexed to the City of Santa Clarita. In addition to land area, this data also includes other feature types such as piers, breakwater and water area. 2022 September: CSA data was updated to match with city boundaries along shoreline/coastal area and minor boundary adjusted in some other areas.

This shapefile contains tax rate area (TRA) boundaries in Los Angeles County for the specified assessment roll year. Boundary alignment is based on the 2009 county parcel map. A tax rate area (TRA) is a geographic area within the jurisdiction of a unique combination of cities, schools, and revenue districts that utilize the regular city or county assessment roll, per Government Code 54900. Each TRA is assigned a six-digit numeric identifier, referred to as a TRA number. TRA = tax rate area number
