Really confused about the Census Bureau's separation of South OC and Riverside from LA... anyone who lives in Southland can tell you there is no gap in urbanity whatsoever anymore. As for these numbers, I think the Census underestimated LA's true size in 2020, given the worsening traffic, increasing density in the basin, and booming growth in the Inland Empire.
