Workers Compensation Attorney San Fernando
The city of San Fernando in Los Angeles County is completely surrounded by the City of Los Angeles and is one of the few towns which retained its independence from the city. As of the 2010 US Census there were nearly 24,000 individuals living in the area with the median household income being $55,192.
Originally the San Fernando was dominated by middle-class Caucasians. But as the area continues to transform it is becoming increasingly ethnically and economically diverse.
