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.
