LA County: The Land of Giants (and Kardashians)
Let's get down to brass tacks. Los Angeles County is a whopping 4,751 square miles (or 12,310 square kilometers if you're feeling fancy). That's a lot of ground to cover, even for a Kardashian. To put that into perspective, it's about the size of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware combined. Yeah, we know, mind blown.
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
But wait, there's more! Out of that massive chunk of land, only about 85% is actually land. The other 15%? That's all water, baby! Oceans, lakes, rivers, and probably a few swimming pools thrown in for good measure. So, next time you're complaining about LA traffic, just remember, you could be stuck in a traffic jam on a boat.
