If the population of Los Angeles County’s unincorporated areas was combined into a standalone city, it would have more residents than Long Beach, Santa Clarita, and Glendale—combined! That’s right. The County has more than 120 unincorporated areas, with a total population of about 1 million residents. This animated video explains what an unincorporated area is and highlights the municipal services LA County provides to them. Click here to watch.
