Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles, California, also known by its initials L.A., is the state's biggest metropolis. It is the second-largest city in the United States, behind New York City, with a 2020 population of 3,898,747. Los Angeles is well-known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic and cultural variety, film industry, and wide metropolitan region.

Los Angeles is the most populous city in California, with a population of about four million people. It's also one of the priciest. Despite its associated with Hollywood glamour and glam, L.A.'s high cost of living is supported not only by wealthy movie stars, but also by a thriving industrial and tech startup environment.

Regrettably, the median income is $3,000 lower than the national norm. Most inhabitants find it difficult to live comfortably as a result. In reality, more than 20% of Los Angeles' population is impoverished. That reflects the city's vast economic gap in a terrible way.
