West Hollywood has thirty-seven times the mapped Flock camera density of Los Angeles

Flock cameras per square mile of land, the twenty densest cities in Los Angeles County, with the City of Los Angeles for scale.

Source: Basin Data, la-alpr-cameras. Camera locations are OpenStreetMap, mapped by DeFlock volunteers and licensed ODbL; land area is the Census 2025 Gazetteer, land only. Volunteers have searched some cities more thoroughly than others, so every figure is a floor, and a mapped camera is a location rather than a verified working device. Nine cities have no mapped Flock camera. Beverly Hills also has 110 mapped readers from other vendors, which puts it first in the county at 31 per square mile when every vendor is counted.
