Norwalk
Norwalk is a southeast LA County city of roughly 100,000 residents, defined by its post-war development pattern and an unusually dense set of freeway connections. About three-quarters of the housing stock is detached single-family on small lots from the 1940s through 1960s, with the One-Ways tract on the north side as one of the original veteran-housing neighborhoods. Cerritos College and the Norwalk-Santa Fe Springs Metrolink station shape daily commute geography.
