Sectoral Clustering in the City of Inglewood
• Table 2.3-15 shows the distribution of firms by ZIP codes based on data from the
U.S. Census 2003 County Business Patterns. The number of establishments in the
County Business Patterns data is about 8 percent higher than the EDD estimates
for 2004.
• As shown Table 2.3-15, the City of Inglewood, as defined by the ZIP codes 90301,
90302, 90303, 90304 and 90305, had a total of 1,996 firms in 2003. Establishments
listed under ZIP code 90304 also include those in the City of Lennox.
• As shown in Figure 2.3-13, nearly 50 percent of the firms in the City are located in
ZIP code 90301, followed by 16.8 percent in 90302.
• Using the distribution of firms by sector within each ZIP code, and comparing this
distribution to the citywide distribution provides a rough estimate of concentration
of sectors by geography.
• As shown in Table 2.3-16, indexing the distribution of firms by sector by ZIP
codes to the City-wide sectoral distribution results in locational indices or relative
concentration of firms by sector by ZIP code.
• Location of Health Care and Social Services firms is 1.8 and 1.3 times higher in
ZIP codes 90305 and 90301, respectively, compared to the average sectoral
distribution in the City.
• Manufacturing related firms are around 2.3 times more concentrated in ZIP code
90302 compared to the City average.
• Transportation and Warehousing related firms are relatively more concentrated in
ZIP codes 90301 and 90304.
