Los Angeles On-Street Metered Parking Inventory with Rates and Restrictions

Los Angeles maintains an inventory of all on-street metered parking spaces. The dataset includes Space/Meter ID, block-level address, hourly rate, time limits, operating hours, and coordinates. It is updated as operationally feasible by the City of Los Angeles via data.lacity.org.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking rate distribution across Council Districts and Neighborhood Councils (Certified) using RateRange and RateType.
• Map parking space locations and density by Census Tracts or Zip Codes using the LatLng coordinates.
• Model parking policy impacts by correlating MeteredTimeLimit and MeterType with LA Specific Plans or Precinct Boundaries.
• Identify parking restriction zones for route planning using BlockFace and the enforced restrictions data.

Strengths

• Includes coordinates (LatLng) for geospatial analysis.
• Contains multiple administrative boundary columns like Council Districts, Zip Codes, and Census Tracts for cross-analysis.
• Links to a real-time occupancy dataset for over 5,000 spaces.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
