An interactive map released Thursday by Los Angeles City Controller Ron Galperin shows places that are central to the city’s Latinx population, in honor of Latinx Heritage Month.
The map gives users a tour through 23 such locations, and also highlights the contributions of Latinx city employees.
“The Latinx community has played an integral role in shaping the history and culture of Los Angeles since its founding,” Galperin said. “I hope Angelenos from all walks of life use this story map and dashboard year-round to learn more about the contributions and history of L.A.’s Latinx communities.”
Titled “Unidos: Latinx en Los Ángeles,” the dashboard uses data from the city’s 2021 payroll.
The Latinx heritage map can be viewed on the city controller website at: bit.ly/3UiCFKu.
