This week’s trivia question asked how many businesses in 90042 have sales greater than $500,000? The answer is 82. The business that is first on the list had sales of $86,609,284
As it often the case, this week’s question was meant to highlight one of our databases. This time around it was the Demographics Now database from Gale. This database allows you to construct rather detailed searches around demographic questions as they apply to both businesses and individuals. This particular database is both fascinating and a little scary. Find it listed alphabetically (under G since it’s technically the Gale: Demographics Now database) on LAPL’s Research & Homework page (https://lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework) and access it with your library card
