A lo largo del siglo XX, el Gran Los Ángeles fue una de las regiones de más rápido
crecimiento en los Estados Unidos, pero el crecimiento se ha desacelerado desde
2000. Según el censo de EE. UU. de 2010 , el área metropolitana más pequeña de Los
Ángeles tenía una población de casi 13 millones de residentes. En 2015, la
población del Gran Los Ángeles se estimó en alrededor de 18,7 millones, [10] lo que
la convierte en la segunda región metropolitana más grande del país, detrás de
Nueva York , así como en una de las megaciudades más grandes del mundo . [11] [12]
Con el tiempo, las sequías y los incendios forestales han aumentado en frecuencia y
se han vuelto menos estacionales y más continuos durante todo el año, lo que ejerce
mayor presión sobre la región.seguridad del agua . [13] [14] [15] [16]

Área metropolitana de Los Ángeles
El área metropolitana de Los Ángeles está definida por la Oficina de Administración
y Presupuesto de EE. UU. como [17] [18] [19] el área estadística metropolitana
(MSA) de Los Ángeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA , con una población de 2017 de
13,353,907. El MSA está compuesto a su vez por dos "divisiones metropolitanas"
Starting in the early twentieth century, there was a large growth in population on
the western edges of the city moving to the San Fernando Valley and out into the
Conejo Valley in eastern Ventura County. Many working class whites migrated to this
area during the 1960s and 1970s out of East and Central Los Angeles.[27] As a
result, there was a large growth in population into the Conejo Valley and into
Ventura County through the US 101 corridor. Making the US 101 a full freeway in the
1960s and expansions that followed helped make commuting to Los Angeles easier and
opened the way for development westward. Development in Ventura County and along
the US 101 corridor remains controversial, with open-space advocates battling those
who feel business development is necessary to economic growth.[28] Although the
area still has abundant amount of open space and land, almost all of it was put
aside and mandated never to be developed as part of the master plan of each city.
Because of this, the area which was once a relatively inexpensive area to buy real
estate, saw rising real estate prices well into the 2000s.[29] Median home prices
in the Conejo Valley for instance, ranged from $700,000 to $2.2 million in 2003.
[30] According to Forbes, "it's nearly impossible" to find reasonably priced real
estate in California, and the prices will continue to increase.[31]
The Los Angeles area continues to grow, principally on the periphery where new,
cheaper, undeveloped areas are being sought.[32] As such, in these areas,
populations as well as housing prices exploded, although the housing bubble popped
late in the decade of the 2000s. Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, which
contain large swaths of desert, attracted most of the population increase between
2000 and 2006. Growth continues not only outside the existing urbanized area but
also adjacent to existing development in the central areas.[33] As in virtually all
US core cities, there is now vigorous residential development in the downtown area
with both new buildings and renovation of former office buildings. The Los Angeles
Downtown News keeps a list of ongoing development projects, updated every quarter.
[34]
Despite the large footprint of the city of Los Angeles, a majority of the land area
within Los Angeles County is unincorporated and under the primary jurisdiction of
Los Angeles County. Much of this land, however, cannot be easily developed due to
planning challenges presented by geographic features such as the Santa Monica
Mountains, the San Gabriel Mountains, and the Mojave Desert. Actual land
development in these regions occurs on the fringes of incorporated cities, some of
which have been fully developed, such as the cities of Palmdale and Lancaster.

Some of the above areas can be defined as being bounded by natural features such as
mountains or the ocean; others are marked by city boundaries, freeways, or other
constructed landmarks. For example, Downtown Los Angeles is the area of Los Angeles
roughly enclosed by three freeways and one river: the Harbor Freeway (SR 110) to
the west, the Santa Ana Freeway (US 101) to the north, the Los Angeles River to the
east, and the Santa Monica Freeway (I-10) to the south.[42] Meanwhile, the San
Fernando Valley ("The Valley") is defined as the basin consisting of the part of
Los Angeles and its suburbs that lie north-northwest of downtown and is ringed by
mountains.[43]

Cities in Los Angeles County
With a population of 3.8 million people as of the 2010 Census, the City of Los
Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States after New York City,
and is the focal point of the Greater Los Angeles Area.[44] As an international
center for finance, entertainment, media, culture, education, tourism, and science,
Los Angeles is considered one of the world's most powerful and influential global
cities.[45]
List of cities with populations of over 50,000 as of the 2010 U.S. Census:
Orange County is sometimes figuratively divided into "North County" and "South
County", with North Orange County including cities such as Anaheim, Fullerton, and
Santa Ana, and is the older, more ethnically diverse and more densely built-up area
closer to Los Angeles. South County, defined variously as beginning with either
Costa Mesa[46] or Irvine[47] and includes cities to the east and south such as
Laguna Beach, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, and San Clemente, is more residential,
affluent, recently developed, and has a mostly white population. Irvine is an
exception, as it is a center of employment and is ethnically diverse. A growing
alternative dividing marker between north and south is the El Toro Y interchange.
Orange Coast or South Coast area is defined instead, consisting of some or all of
the cities lining the coast.

Inland Empire
While the Inland Empire is sometimes defined as the entirety of San Bernardino and
Riverside Counties, the eastern undeveloped, desert portions of these counties are
not considered to be part of Greater Los Angeles. The state of California defines
this area to include the cities of Adelanto, Apple Valley, and Victorville to the
north, the Riverside–San Diego county line to the south, and the towns of Anza,
Idyllwild, and Lucerne Valley, along with the San Bernardino National Forest to the
east.[51] However, with clear northern and southern limits to expansion, the
region's urban eastern boundaries have become increasingly nebulous as suburban
sprawl continues to spread out to form a unified whole with Los Angeles, with
further development encroaching past the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains
and into the outlying desert areas. As a result, the regional definition of Greater
Los Angeles can now be extended to include Barstow and surrounding towns in the
northeast, the Morongo Basin in the east-central including Yucca Valley and
Twentynine Palms, and the Coachella Valley cities in the southeast. This
interconnectivity, provided by one of the most extensive freeway systems in the
world, as well as economic, social and media ties, has blended boundaries between
these regions and the urbanized Los Angeles and Inland Empire areas.[52]

Sparsely populated areas in the Inland Empire
While the above areas are included in the regional definition of Greater Los
Angeles, the U.S. Census Bureau defines Greater Los Angeles, or officially, the Los
Angeles-Long Beach Combined Statistical Area, to include both the above-mentioned
areas along with the entirety of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.[53] These
areas are sparsely developed and are part of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts. To
the north, Interstate 15 crosses desolate desert landscape after passing Barstow,
linking Greater Los Angeles with Las Vegas, with Baker being the only significant
outpost along the route. To the east, lie the Mojave National Preserve and Joshua
Tree National Park along with the towns of Needles and Blythe on the California-
Arizona border.

According to the 2010 census, there were 17,877,006 people living in the Greater
Los Angeles Area. The racial makeup of the area was 54.9% White (39.0% White Non-
Hispanic), 12.3% Asian, 0.3% Pacific Islander, 7.0% African American, 0.8% Native
American, 20.2% from other races, and 4.5% from two or more races. 44.9% of the
population (8.0 million) were Hispanic of any race, including 35.7% of the
population (6.4 million) which was of Mexican origin.[55] 31.0% of the population
(5.5 million) was foreign born; 18.3% (3.3 million) came from Latin America and
9.8% (1.7 million) from Asia.[56]
The explosive growth of the region in the 20th century can be attributed to its
favorable Mediterranean climate, the availability of land and many booming
industries such as oil, automobile and rubber, motion pictures and aerospace which
in turn attracted millions of people from all over the United States and world.
[citation needed] Citrus production was important to the region's development in
the earlier part of the 20th century.[57]
While the New York metropolitan area is presently the most populous metropolitan
area in the United States, it has been predicted in the past that Greater Los
Angeles will eventually surpass Greater New York in population.[citation needed]
Whether this will happen is yet to be seen, but past predictions on this event have
been off the mark. A 1966 article in Time predicted Greater Los Angeles would
surpass New York by 1975, and that by 1990, would reach close to the 19 million
mark.[58] But the article's flawed definition of Greater Los Angeles included San
Diego, which is actually its own metropolitan area. A 1989 article in The New York
Times predicted Greater Los Angeles would surpass Greater New York by 2010,[59] but
the article predicted the population would be 18.3 million in that year, a number
Greater New York has already surpassed as of 2007 by half a million people. As of
2009, the New York metropolitan area had a population of 22.2 million compared to
the Greater Los Angeles Area's 18.7 million, about a 3.56 million persons
difference.[60] Percentage growth, however, has been higher in Greater Los Angeles
over the past few decades than in Greater New York.

Whites are the racial majority; whites (both Hispanic and non-Hispanic) make up
54.6% of the population. Non-Hispanic whites make up under one-third (32.2%) of the
population. Approximately 7,028,533 residents are white, of which 4,150,426 are

Asians make up 13.9% of the population, the largest racial minority, since
Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity of any race. Asians of non-Hispanic origin make up
13.7% of the population. Approximately 1,790,140 residents are Asian, of which
1,770,225 are Asians of non-Hispanic origin. The six Asian ancestries mentioned
were Filipino: 3.5% (454,086), Chinese: 3.0% (390,192), Korean: 2.1% (274,288),
Vietnamese: 2.0% (254,353), Japanese: 1.0% (134,466) and Indian: 0.9% (116,090).
"Other Asian" is an additional category that includes people who did not identify
themselves as any of the groups above. This group includes people of Cambodian,
Laotian, Pakistani, Burmese, Taiwanese, and Thai descent, among others.
Approximately 166,665 people are in this category, and they make up 1.3% of the
population.
Native Americans make up 0.5% of the population (68,822), with those of non-
Hispanic origin making up 0.2% (26,134). Approximately 3,872 Cherokee, 1,679
Navajo, 1,000 Chippewa, and 965 Sioux reside in the area.
Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders make up 0.3% of the population.
Approximately 37,719 residents are Native Hawaiian or of other Pacific Islander
ancestries, of which 33,982 are of non-Hispanic origin. The three Pacific Islander
ancestries mentioned were Samoan: 0.1% (13,519), Native Hawaiian: 0.1% (6,855), and
Guamanian or Chamorro: <0.1% (4,581). "Other Pacific Islander" is an additional
category that includes people who did not identify themselves as any of the groups
above. This group includes people of Fijian and Tongan descent, among others.
Approximately 12,764 people are in this category, and they make up 0.1% of the
population.
Multiracial people make up 3.2% of the population, of which 1.8% were of non-
Hispanic origin. Approximately 405,568 people are multiracial, of which 228,238 are
of non-Hispanic origin. The four multiracial ancestries mentioned were White and
Asian: 0.8% (107,585), White and American Indian: 0.4% (55,960), White and Black or
African American: 0.4% (53,476), and Black or African American and American Indian:
0.1% (12,661).

Greater Los Angeles is a politically divided metropolitan area. During the 1970s
and 1980s the region leaned toward the Republican Party. Los Angeles County, the
most populous of the region, is a Democratic stronghold, although it voted twice
for both Richard Nixon (1968 and 1972) and Ronald Reagan (1980 and 1984). Riverside
County, San Bernardino County, and Orange County have historically leaned toward
the Republican Party, but have started shifting leftward in recent years. Ventura
County is politically divided.
Economy
The Greater Los Angeles Area has the third largest metropolitan economy in the
world, behind Greater Tokyo Area and New York Metropolitan Area. A 2010 Greyhill
Advisors study indicated that the Los Angeles metropolitan area had a gross
metropolitan product of $736 billion.[62] As of 2017, the Combined statistical area
of Greater Los Angeles (which includes the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the
Inland Empire and Ventura County) had a $1.252 trillion economy.[3][4][5]
Greater Los Angeles Area is the home of the US national headquarters of almost all
Asian major car manufacturers except Nissan, Toyota, and Subaru (Nissan moved to
Tennessee; Toyota moved to Texas; Subaru first located in Philadelphia but moved to
New Jersey); Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Hyundai and Kia have set up their
national headquarters here.[citation needed]
The City of Los Angeles is home to five Fortune 500 companies: energy company
Occidental Petroleum (until 2014 when it moved its headquarters to Houston),
healthcare provider Health Net, metals distributor Reliance Steel & Aluminum,
engineering firm AECOM, and real estate group CB Richard Ellis. Other companies
headquartered in Los Angeles include American Apparel, City National Bank, 20th
Century Fox, Latham & Watkins, Univision, Metro Interactive, LLC, Premier America,
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, DeviantArt,[63] Guess?, O’Melveny & Myers; Paul, Hastings,
Janofsky & Walker, Tokyopop, The Jim Henson Company, Paramount Pictures, Sunkist
Growers, Incorporated, Tutor Perini, Fox Sports Net, Capital Group, and The Coffee
Bean & Tea Leaf. Korean Air's US passenger and cargo operations headquarters are in
two separate offices in Los Angeles.[64] Entertainment and media giant The Walt
Disney Company is headquartered in nearby Burbank.
Los Angeles and Orange Counties together have an economy of roughly $1.044 trillion
(estimated for 2017[65]), or the total economic output or income of Indonesia's 250
million people; important are coastal California land values and the rents they
command, which contribute heavily to GDP earnings, though there are worries that
these high land values contribute to the long-term problem of housing affordability
and are thus a possible risk to future GDP increase.[66][67] This is evident when
comparing the coast with the Inland Empire, a large component of the five-county
combined statistical area (CSA) that nevertheless contributes a far smaller portion
to regional gross metropolitan product but still dominates in industry. The Greater
Los Angeles CSA is the third-largest economic center in the world, after Greater
Tokyo and the New York-Newark-Bridgeport CSA.
The Port of Long Beach is the second-busiest container port in the United States.
It adjoins the separate Port of Los Angeles. Acting as a major gateway for U.S.-
Asian trade, the port occupies 3,200 acres (1,295 hectares) of land with 25 miles
(40 kilometres) of waterfront in the city of Long Beach, California. The seaport
has approximately $100 billion in trade and provides more than 316,000 jobs in
Southern California. The Port of Long Beach imports and exports more than $100
billion worth of goods every year. The seaport provides the country with jobs,
generates tax revenue, and supports retail and manufacturing businesses.[citation

In 2014, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim placed third among the largest exporters in
the United States (shipment totaling to $75.5 billion). The metro accounted for
40.8 percent of California's merchandise exports, mainly exporting computer and
electronic products ($18.6 billion); transportation equipment ($15.3 billion) and
chemicals ($5.6 billion). Nonetheless, the greater Los Angeles metro has immensely
benefited from the free trade agreements: greater Los Angeles exported $25.1
billion to the NAFTA region and $776 million in goods to the CAFTA region.
Overall, in 2014 the average wages and salaries reached $57,519 (in 2010, the
average wages and salaries reached $54,729).[72] Meanwhile, the median household
income in 2014 was $56,935, a 1.4 percent increase from 2013 (average median
household income was $56,164).[73]

Los Angeles County Metro
Main article: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
Since the region of the city is in close proximity to a major fault area the
tunnels were built to resist earthquakes of up to magnitude 7.5. Both subway lines
use an electrified third rail to provide power to the trains, rendering these lines
unusable on the other three. The Blue and Gold Lines run mostly at grade, with some
street-running, elevated, and underground stretches in the more densely populated
areas of Los Angeles. The Green Line is entirely grade separated, running in the
median of I-105 and then turning southward along an elevated route.
The rail lines run regularly on a 5 am and midnight schedule, seven days a week.
Limited service on particular segments is provided after midnight and before 5 am
There is no rail service between 2 and 3:30 am Exact times vary from route to
route; see individual route articles for more information.

Professional teams
Main article: Sports in Los Angeles
As a whole, the Los Angeles area has more national championships, all sports
combined (college and professional), than any other city in the United States, with
over four times as many championships as the entire state of Texas, and just over
twice that of New York City.[82] It is the only American city to host the summer
Olympic games twice: once in 1932, and more recently in 1984 (Lake Placid hosted
the winter Olympic games twice: once in 1932 and once in 1980).[83] Los Angeles
will also be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympics, becoming the third city to host
three Olympic Games, after London and Paris.
UCLA–USC rivalry, both universities are located in Los Angeles and are members of
the Pac-12 Conference. The rivalry between the two is among the more unusual in
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I sports, because the
campuses are only 12 miles (19 km) apart, and both are located within the same
megacity.
Cal Baptist University
Cal State Fullerton Titans
Cal State Northridge Matadors
Long Beach State 49ers
Loyola Marymount Lions
Pepperdine Waves
UC Irvine Anteaters
UC Riverside Highlanders
UCLA Bruins (FBS)
USC Trojans (FBS)
Other sports
The Greater Los Angeles area also has three well-known horse racing facilities:
Santa Anita Park, Los Alamitos Race Course and the former Hollywood Park Racetrack
and three major motorsport venues: Auto Club Speedway, Long Beach street circuit,
and Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. In addition, the city of Los Angeles hosted the
Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984.
For over twenty years the Los Angeles area media market lacked a National Football
League team. After the 1994 season, the Los Angeles Rams moved to St. Louis,
Missouri, and the Los Angeles Raiders returned to their original home of Oakland,
California, due to the lack of an up-to-date NFL stadium. After numerous stadium
proposals between 1995 and 2016 in an attempt to bring the NFL back,[84][85][86]
the Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Rams, and San Diego Chargers all submitted plans to
relocate back to Los Angeles after the 2015 NFL season. On January 12, 2016, the
Rams were approved to move to Los Angeles and build SoFi Stadium with the Chargers
or Raiders given the option to join them. On January 12, 2017, the Chargers
announced their move to Los Angeles to join the Rams. The Rams temporarily play at
the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum while the Chargers temporarily play at Dignity
Health Sports Park. Both teams will share the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood,
California, once construction is completed.[87]
