Description: The neighborhoods shown in this dataset are derived from a larger dataset drawn and maintained by the Data Desk, a team of Times reporters and Web developers in downtown L.A. The boundaries have expanded and shifted over time and now cover all of Los Angeles County broken down into 272 neighborhoods.This version of the LA Times boundaries only includes neighborhoods fully or partially within the City of Los Angeles. Neighborhoods that extend into other cities have been clipped to only show the portion(s) of the neighborhoods that are within the City of Los Angeles.Data Source: Los Angeles Times' Mapping LA project.Last Updated: October 7, 2016Refresh Rate: Never - Historical data (Note: should the LA Times update their Mapping LA project with new boundaries in the future, a new LA-specific layer will be added to the GeoHub as well.)

The Million Dollar Hoods project maps incarceration in Los Angeles County and estimates the fiscal and human costs of incarceration. For additional project and data information, the project maintains a github wiki site. For purposes of this project, estimates specific to LASD and LAPD were combined in columns titled "Combo." To normalize data, neighborhood population estimates were used. This layer is distinct from similar upload in that this layer has supervisor district (sup_dist) and service planning area (spa) as attributes, based on "center in" spatial join.For more information, please contact egis@isd.lacounty.gov

Blocks are typically bounded by streets, roads or creeks. In cities, a census block may correspond to a city block, but in rural areas where there are fewer roads, blocks may be limited by other features. The Census Bureau established blocks covering the entire nation for the first time in 1990.There are less number of Census Blocks within Los Angeles County in 2020 Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles, compared in 2010.Updated:1. June 2023: This update includes 2022 November Santa Clarita City annexation and the addition of "Kinneloa Mesa" community (was a part of unincorporated East Pasadena). Added new data fields FIP_CURRENT to CITYCOMM_CURRENT to reflect new/updated city and communities. Updated city/community names and FIP codes of census blocks that are in 2022 November Santa Clarita City annexation and new Kinneloa Mesa community (look for FIP_Current, City_Current, Comm_Current field values)2.

Data for cities, communities, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts were generated using a small area estimation method which combined the survey data with population benchmark data (2022 population estimates for Los Angeles County) and neighborhood characteristics data (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). Households experiencing food insecurity are defined as those with low food security or very low food security in the last 12 months. Food insecurity is assessed by a scaled variable created from a series of five questions.Food insecurity, or the inability to reliably afford or access sufficient quantities of healthy food, affects hundreds of thousands of low-income households in Los Angeles County. Food insecure adults are at increased risk for poor dietary intake and developing chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and psychological distress or depression. Increasing enrollment in food assistance programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (known as CalFresh in California) or the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (better known as WIC) is an important measure that cities and communities can take to combat food insecurity.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

The Los Angeles Index of Neighborhood Change is a tool that allows users to explore the extent to which Los Angeles Zip Codes have undergone demographic change from 2000 to 2014. Created in 2015/2016, the data comes from 2000, 2005, 2013, and 2014. Please read details about each measure for exact years.Index scores are an aggregate of six demographic measures indicative of gentrification. The measures are standardized and combined using weights that reflect the proportion of each measure that is statistically significant.Measure 1: Percent change in low/high IRS filer ratio. For the purposes of this measure, High Income = >$75K Adjust Gross Income tax filer and Low Income = <$25k filers who also received an earned income tax credit.

Split tract data is the intersection of 2020 census tracts by 2023 incorporated city boundaries and unincorporated countywide statistical areas (CSA) boundaries. The census tract boundaries have been altered and aligned where necessary with legal city boundaries and unincorporated areas, including along shoreline/coastal areas. This data is also known as the Split Tract data. This data can be used to estimate population changes over time. Census Tract:Every 10 years the Census Bureau counts the population of the United States as mandated by Constitution. The Census Bureau 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 Field:CT20FIP23CSA: ID field (combination of 2020 census tract number, 2023 city FIP code and CSA name)CT20: 2020 Census TractFIP23: FIP code for legal cityCITY: Legal City Name (as of July 1, 2023)CSA: Countywide Statistical Area (CSA) and Los Angeles City neighborhood namesHow this data created?This polygon data is created by intersecting 2020 census tract polygons, LA Country City neighborhood polygons and Countywide Statistical Areas (CSA) data polygon. The resulting polygon boundary aligned and matched with the legal city boundary whenever possible. Updates:2023 July: The major updates include 2022 November Santa Clarita City annexation and Kinneloa Mesa community (previously it was a part of Unincorporated East Pasadena). This data also aligns with current city boundary along LA County shoreline areas.

Tabular data of 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 2010 census tracts split by 2018 incorporated city boundaries and unincorporated community/countywide statistical areas (CSA) boundaries. The census tract boundaries have been altered and aligned where necessary with legal city boundaries and unincorporated areas, including shoreline/coastal areas.

Map and data for the Food Base LA Food Systems Dashboard. This map contains 2020 Census Tracts for Los Angeles County, and a variety of other boundaries to support data analysis and exploration: the county itself, its 88 cities plus unincorporated cities, county statistical areas (CSA), county service planning areas (SPA), county supervisorial districts, LA Times neighborhoods, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts. Point data include L.A. County Department of Public Health Restaurant and Market Inventory and Inspection data (quarterly data for 2023-2025) and CalFresh (USDA SNAP) food retailer and restaurant meals locations. Datasets are time series when available, and organized by groups: Food Assistance and Benefits, Retail Food Outlets, Food Deserts, Resident Health, Resident Demographics, Neighborhood Characteristics, Green and Garden Spaces, and Schools.

Data for cities, communities, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts were generated using a small area estimation method which combined the survey data with population benchmark data (2022 population estimates for Los Angeles County) and neighborhood characteristics data (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). This indicator is based on caregiver report.Living in poor quality housing can increase exposure to environmental hazards, such as lead, molds, and cockroaches. Exposure to molds and cockroaches can worsen underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma in children.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

The Targeted Neighborhood Initiative (TNI) is a new effort that strategically focuses public and private sector resources to revitalize communities throughout Los Angeles. Twelve designated neighborhoods will each receive $3 million within a 3-year period to develop, implement and sustain public improvements in their neighborhoods. The people who live and work in the community will make the decision on how the money will be spent. The goal of the TNI is to empower community stakeholders to determine the future of their neighborhoods so that they can: Improve the quality of life in the neighborhood within a three year period. Establish sustainable community improvements to be defined and measured by community expectations. Develop a winning community revitalization formula that can be applied in other neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles.The TNI is achievable by strategically integrating and leveraging existing city services and investments within a geographic area. Through designated teams consisting of city representatives, community stakeholders can access city resources and supplemental Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to revitalize their neighborhood according to their needs, wishes and vision. This allows each neighborhood to maintain its unique identity and to set its own priorities for growth.Refresh Rate: As NeededLast Updated: Nov 9, 2018

The Community Plans establish neighborhood-specific goals and implementation strategies to achieve the broad objectives laid out in the City’s General Plan. Together, the 34 Community Plans make up the General Plan’s Land Use Element, which plays an important role in bolstering housing and job opportunities, conserving open space and natural resources, and balancing different neighborhoods’ needs.In addition to the 34 Community Plans, City Planning is the lead agency responsible for preparing the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Specific Plan and the Port of Los Angeles's Dual Coastal Plan Zone [30000 - 30601], which guide land use consideration at two of the City's proprietary agencies, namely the airport and port.Each Community Plan consists of a policy document and a land use map. The policy document lays out the community’s goals, policies, and programs, while the land use map identifies where certain uses (such as residential, commercial, and industrial) are permitted. Together, the policy document and land use map inform local zoning decisions. Proposed changes to the City’s zoning are usually initiated through Community Plan Updates.Refresh Rate: Monthly
