the la palma website is full of really interesting information. for instance, did you kno that we are less than 2 miles square (in fact, we are 1.9 square miles large)? the things you learn! and i haven't even gotton to the population characteristics yet...
according to the 2000 census we have nearly 15,500 people (so much for me always saying that lp only has 8) and most of those are female. the average age is just under 40. we usually have more than twice the number of births as deaths. and altho we are growing as a city, during the last 30 years our population has only gone up by 9 people! racially, la palma is predominately asian (which i found a bit surprising). we are 44.6% asian and 36.3% white. besides the regulars, we have 37 american indians and 43 hawaiians (people, not percentages, duh).
us being in oc, perhaps you won't find it surprising that we identify more strongly wit the republican party than wit the democrate (3224 to 2678). somewat disapointingly, however, is that less than half of those living in lp are registered to vote (and yes, i do realize that that does not mean that half of all eligible voters are registered).
