Los Angeles by the numbers
Los Angeles's population has held steady since 2020, at 3,869,089 residents (Census estimates).
Los Angeles County has 770 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.79 for every 10,000 residents, above the national figure of 0.17. 95% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is up 11% from 694 in 2018.
The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.

Weather: Los Angeles Downtown/USC station, 3 mi from Los Angeles's center (NOAA 1991-2020 Climate Normals). People: Census ACS 2020-2024. Counts: CBP 2023, by county, paid-employee establishments. Population: Census, July 2025.
What Los Angeles's weather means for bands
Summer warms up, with about 26 days a year at 90°F or more, so outdoor dates call for light tees and caps, and dark heavyweights belong at night shows. Even winter nights stay mild, with December lows averaging 48°F, so fleece is a small order and the space goes to tees. About 14 inches of rain a year means outdoor dates rarely get rained out, so a festival or patio show can carry the same table as a club date.

How should a band split tees and hoodies for shows in Los Angeles?
Tees, tanks and caps should fill most of the van. No month in Los Angeles averages a high under 65°F and summer heat shapes the table more than winter does, so a hoodie is a niche item.
