But going north on I-5, L.A.'s urbanity does seem to drop off closer to the city than other directions.
Of course, if you go north or south on I-95 from Manhattan, there are hardly any hinterlands between Boston and Northern Virginia.

Yes, it drops off on I-5 in the northern LA stretches, but that's mostly due to getting into the mountain communities. They're developed, but they're less dense/quieter than the rest of LA burbs. It feels much further away from the city than it actually is (by LA standards anyway). Once you leave Burbank, you're getting into the outskirts.
