Welcome

District One has a population of 222,165 people. Seventy percent of our district, or 154,927 people, are above the age of 18. The remaining thirty percent or 67,238 people, are under the age of 18.

The communities that make up District 1 include: Glassell Park, Cypress Park, Highland Park, Mt. Washington, Solano Canyon, Elysian Park, Echo Park, Westlake, Angelino Heights, Temple Beaudry, Lafayette Park, Chinatown, Forgotten Edge, Lincoln Heights, Montecito Heights, Pico Union, Adams-Normandie, Mid Cities and Mac Arthur Park.

At 13.5 square miles, Council District 1 is geographically the third smallest district in the City and is the only district in all of Los Angeles that does not border a separate municipality.

Moreover, Council District 1 is one of the most ethnically rich districts. Indeed, according to our most recent census data, we have found that District 1 is 75.5% Latino; 15.1% Asian; 5.4% White- Non/Hispanic; 2.6% Black/African American; 1.0% Multi-racial; 0.3% American Indian and 0.1% Other race.

I thank you for taking the time to visit the First Council District website. I hope that you will continue to do so, as this is our community's page. I am always open to any concerns or suggestion you may have on how to better our district. Please feel free to contact me via phone or e-mail. It has been my privilege to serve this District and I look forward to the many new and exciting things to come for the First Council District-Home of the Original Suburbs!
