South Los Angeles

How South Los Angeles has changed over the past decade, from the city's own records — each count set against Los Angeles as a whole, and nothing scored.

Los Angeles's building department stamps each record with a community plan area; the police department publishes by its own divisions, which are a different map, so the police record is not counted here.

Every record on one address in South Los Angeles

A neighborhood is the backdrop. Scan the Block puts thirty-three sections on a single parcel — its permits and what is still open, every code-enforcement case the city holds, zoning and overlays, hazards, the schools nearby, what changed hands around it, and the crime on its block — in one report you can forward.
