The line of 31 areas: Los Angeles neighborhoods for airport transfers, reserved to LAX or Burbank
The desk reserves rides from these Los Angeles neighborhoods for airport transfers to Los Angeles International Airport and Hollywood Burbank Airport. They are the service areas of the desk: the city's own Community Plan Areas except the airport, the port and the three harbor areas, 31 in all. The harbor areas sit closer to a third airport than to LAX or Hollywood Burbank.
Each area is measured from its 2020 population center, the average position of its residents counted block by block in the census, to the terminal curb at LAX and at Hollywood Burbank, by road. A plain map center would have put Brentwood and Bel Air in the middle of parkland, where nobody waits for a car.
From the LAX end to the Burbank end
Order is the share of the two road distances that belongs to LAX: Westchester, a short drive from the terminals, comes first; North Hollywood, three miles from the Burbank curb, comes last. Wilshire sits almost exactly in the middle.
