Leveling Inequities Across Unincorporated Los Angeles
The Office of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell represents the 2nd Supervisorial District (SD2) in Los Angeles County, comprising nearly 177 square miles from the South Bay north to Koreatown. This area includes 11 cities, Los Angeles’ historic South Central neighborhood, 19 unincorporated communities, and approximately 2 million residents of various racial, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds. Unlike people living in cities, residents of unincorporated communities rely on the larger county for public services such as fire safety, law enforcement, zoning, sanitation, recreational programs, and street maintenance. However, the rich histories and distinct needs of these unincorporated communities, coupled with the county’s complex political structure, present Supervisor Mitchell with the challenge of creating opportunities that yield truly equitable outcomes for her constituents.
