As a strong-mayor city, Los Angeles's mayor will receive a full performance score — city outcome trends vs. peer cities in the same population tier — once those metrics clear verification.
City outcome data (unemployment, crime, cost of living and more) is in the verification pipeline. We publish numbers only after they clear it. Methodology
Los Angeles sits in CA, whose governor Gavin Newsom holds a scored statewide record (No. 6 of 29). State outcomes are not the mayor’s grade — a city is not a state — but they’re the nearest verified context today.
