Total Acres of Parks per Thousand Residents 220B
This Chart shows acres of parks per thousand residents for the County of Los Angeles as a whole, and in each State Senate District,
first with large parks and the Angeles National Forest included, and then without the large parks and Forest. The Chart breaks down
this information as follows.
900
827.97
Column C shows the total population in the County and in each Senate District.
Column D shows the total acres of land. Column E shows the total acres of
parks in the County and in each District, including large parks and the Angeles
National Forest. Column F shows the total acres of parks per thousand residents
in the County and in each District, including large parks and the National Forest.
800
700
In Columns G and H, the acres of large parks and forest space that actually
lie within each District are subtracted. For example, the Angeles National
Forest covers close to 700,000 acres, but only the 669,033 acres that actually
lie within the County and each District are excluded.
598.43
600
500
The acreage for the Angeles National Forest and each large park that is subtracted in
Column G is as follows:
Angeles National Forest 669,033 acres
Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area 49,426 acres
Griffith Park 3,542 acres
Elysian Park 686 acres
Baldwin Hills 462 acres
400
300
Based on these calculations, 25% of all land in Los Angeles County is in the Angeles National Forest.
Fully 78% of all park space in the County is in the Angeles Forest. 6% of all park space in the County
lies within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.

Total Population, Total Acres of Land, and Acres of Park will vary slightly between County Supervisorial, State Assembly, and State
Senate spreadsheets due to minor geographical differences in the data sets.
