The district includes West Hollywood, Burbank, parts of Pasadena, Glendale, the Verdugo Hills communities of Sunland and Tujunga, as well as parts of central Los Angeles including Hollywood, the Hollywood Hills, Echo Park, Silver Lake, and Los Feliz. As it includes Glendale and Little Armenia, it has the largest Armenian–American population of any district in the country (Schiff cites the Armenian population at greater than 70,000).[4][5] The district also includes two of Southern California's more significant gay enclaves (or "gayborhoods"), West Hollywood and Silver Lake.
Formerly, from 2003 to 2013, the district included about half of the San Fernando Valley, including North Hollywood, in the Greater Los Angeles Area. Due to redistricting after the 2010 United States Census, the district shifted east within Los Angeles County and includes Burbank and Glendale.
