Methamphetamine 
Los Angeles County
Service Planning Areas (SPA)

Los Angeles County is divided into eight geographic areas, or Service Planning Areas (SPA), due to its large size (4,100 square miles). These distinct regions allow the Department of Public Health to develop and provide more relevant public health and clinical services targeted to the specific health needs of the residents in these different areas.
Data available for specific SPAs are presented below.
