Method: "Eastside" here is our informal grouping of the 11 ZIP codes listed above — not an official city boundary. Figures are what appears in the City of LA's official 311 and building-permit feeds for those ZIPs; independent cities inside the region run their own systems, so their activity shows up only at the edges.
The numbers above refresh every day from the city's official feeds. Get the free daily LA brief — what moved, what's unusual, what it means — one email each morning. No spam, one-click unsubscribe.
