What do we actually know about Los Angeles?
Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Los Angeles has about 3,869,089 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 3,850 fatal crashes in Los Angeles County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2022 (817). Those are county-wide counts, not Los Angeles alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.
