Public Opinion on Race Relations

Thursday, April 28, 2022

Every five years, StudyLA asks Angelenos about race relations to take the city's pulse in the aftermath of the 1992 unrest that followed the Rodney King verdict. In 2022, city of Los Angeles residents (n=1,000) were asked about the likelihood of similar riots or disturbances in the next five years, how racial and ethnic groups in Los Angeles are getting along these days, and how race relations have changed.
