Poking around on a project I came across the state's latest population estimates for the 88 cities in Los Angeles County. Good to be reminded that most of the county's 10,363,850 people live outside of L.A. and that Long Beach ranks #5 in California, between San Francisco and Fresno — also ahead of Sacramento and Oakland.

Here are the top 25 cities by estimated population in Los Angeles County.

Los Angeles4,045,873
Long Beach 492,642

Pasadena 148,126
Palmdale 147,897
Lancaster 145,243
El Monte 126,053

There's also 1,092,078 people who don't live in any city — they're in unincorporated areas from Avocado Heights and East Los Angeles to Topanga and Wrightwood.

As newspapers and television pull back from investigative reporting, foundations and other organizations are beginning to fill the void. One of the most interesting is Accountable California, a project of Local 721 of the Service Employees International Union.
