The California state capital, Sacramento, is 361 miles to the northwest of Los Angeles. Los Angeles has a population of 3,884,307, ranking 1st of 212 covered California cities and accounting for about 13.9% of their total population. Los Angeles is in the southern part of California (the Pacific Coast).
