About LA Zip Codes
What this site is
LA Zip Codes is a free reference for 96 ZIP codes in the City of Los Angeles and the cities around it, from Beverly Hills and Santa Monica to Compton, Downey, Pasadena, Long Beach and the Inland Empire edge at Ontario and Riverside. Each ZIP code page brings together the figures people most often need in one place: population and density, median household income, median home value and rent, owner-occupancy, poverty rate, educational attainment and unemployment, all from the U.S. Census Bureau, plus area code, coordinates and the nearby ZIPs. City and county pages roll those figures up, and our metro-wide reports analyze them across the whole dataset.
Who it is for
People moving to Los Angeles who need to compare areas before a housing search; residents deciding between two neighborhoods; real estate, lending and insurance professionals who need a quick, sourced figure; journalists and students researching how the region is changing.
Who writes it
LA Zip Codes is run by SEO Agency USA, a digital marketing firm that builds public-data reference sites. We built this one to put Census figures for Los Angeles-area ZIP codes in one readable place.
The data is compiled and checked by SEO Agency USA. The Census figures are pulled directly from published American Community Survey tables. The comparisons, rankings, page summaries and FAQ answers are generated by code from those figures, using rules set out on the methodology page, so a sentence on a ZIP page always matches the numbers on the same page. We do not accept sponsored rankings, paid placements or real-estate referral fees, and no advertiser has any say in what a page says.
Where the data comes from
- U.S. Census Bureau — American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates at the ZIP Code Tabulation Area level: population, age, income, home value, rent, tenure, poverty, education and unemployment. ZIP center points come from the Census Gazetteer files and county assignments from the Census ZCTA-to-county relationship file.
- United States Postal Service — ZIP code definitions, city names and ZIP type.
- North American Numbering Plan — main area code for each ZIP.
The full account of sources, formulas and known limitations is on the methodology page.
Original research
Beyond the per-ZIP profiles, the site publishes metro-wide analysis built from the same dataset. The current report is the Los Angeles ZIP Code Affordability Report 2026, which ranks every ZIP on price-to-income and rent-to-income, quantifies how rent burden tracks poverty, explains the Census $2 million home-value cap, and screens for the few ZIPs where a median income still buys the median home.
