The Southern California Association of Governments has estimated that workers commuting from outside bring the daytime downtown population up to 207,440 people. At night, it is a different story: The 2000 U.S. census found that just 27,849 residents lived in the 5.84 square miles of Downtown—an average of 4,770 people per square mile, among the lowest population densities in the city. The population increased to 34,811 by 2008, according to city estimates. The median age for residents was 39, considered old for the city and the county.
Downtown Los Angeles is almost evenly balanced among the four major racial and ethnic groups – Asian Americans (23%), African Americans (22%), Latinos (25%) and non-Hispanic Whites (26%), according to an analysis of 2010 census data.
