Profiles of Pacoima Census Tracts 1950-2024
The following links are profiles of the Los Angeles Pacoima neighborhood. There are 3 geography data sources used to match historical boundaires to contemporary neighborhood boundaries from the LA Times Neighborhood Boundaries Map above. The 1950-1960 Census tracts are probably the roughest approximations of the LA Times Neighborhood boundaries and are not standardized to any other Census. The 1970-2010 Census tracts are standardized to 2010 Census tracts, are directly comparable to each other, and are a close match to the LA Times Neighborhood boundaries. The 2023 profile is based on American Community Survey Census Tract data and will vary some from previous years but are also a close match to the LA Times Neighborhood boundaries. Because boundaries change, these should not be seen as direct comparisons across time for a specified geographic space. However, they are good estimates.
