The community considered as Palms actually extends to the I-10 Rosa Parks Freeway east of Overland Ave., but the area north of National Blvd. has been assigned by the city to the Westside Community Council, based upon the generalized land-use plan for West Los Angeles.

At one time Palms was described as extending as far north as Manning Ave., and when the district was annexed to Los Angeles in 1915 it encompassed an irregular area all the way east to Fairfax Ave.

The yellow area has been assigned by the city to the Mar Vista Community Council.

The stars represent public schools. The odd spelling of some of the streets is the result of pasting together several electronic maps.

This map shows how Palms is divided into five residential areas, each served by an elected (or appointed) Representative.

This map shows how Palms is divided into three historic business areas, each served by an elected (or appointed) Representative.

This map shows that the heaviest concentration of home ownership is in the southeast corner of Palms, but similar statistics can be seen elsewhere across the southern belt of the Council area. In the heavy apartment district there are fewer than eight homeowners or condo owners per block (light orange), but in some other blocks of Palms the figure is 57 to 113 (dark orange).
