Introduction

This district-level report is a supplement to Communities of Resilience: The Lived Experiences of LGBTQ People in Los Angeles County.1 It provides summaries, graphs, and tables of select key measures included in that report by Los Angeles County Supervisorial District.

First, this report summarizes demographic characteristics of LGBTQ people by district, statistically significant differences in experiences and outcomes for LGBTQ people across districts, and statistically significant differences in experiences and outcomes between LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ people within districts.

The first appendix to this report provides a set of graphs highlighting the key findings. The graphs show demographic characteristics of LGBTQ people by district and data on other measures where there is a statistically significant difference between LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ people at the county level or a statistically significant difference when comparing LGBTQ people between at least two districts.

The second appendix includes tables with data by district for a more extensive set of measures included in the Communities of Resilience report. We recommend using these tables to obtain a more comprehensive portrait of the LGBTQ community in each district.

The final appendix provides write-in responses to several open-ended questions included in the Lived Experiences in Los Angeles County Survey by district.
