Compared to the other large cities in California, Los Angeles trumps them all. It's not even close. It continues to increase every second of every day. Los Angeles is home to over 3.82 million people. According to the 2010 United States Census, Los Angeles is home to nearly half of all California residents. City-data.com states that since the year 2000, there has been a 4.4% increase in population. 100% of the population is urban, meaning 0% rural.
There are approximately 1,921,528 (49.8%) males and 1,936,271 (50.2%) females making up the population. The median age is 34.1. As seen below, the heart of Los Angeles, or downtown, is where most Angelinos reside. There are also quite a few thousand near the coast as well. Indepthfacts.com explains, "LA is a cultural center of the Pacific Rim for the simple fact that its population is diverse and multi-ethnic as well. It is one of those cities in the US that has no majority population because people from over 130 countries live here. They speak more than 80 different languages as they come from different countries and cultures."As of the 2005-2009 American Community Survey, there are 41.3% Caucasian, 57.5% Hispanic/Latino, 9.8% African American, 0.5% Native American, 10.7% Asian, 02% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Los Angeles can definitely be seen as a melting pot.
