I don't know how long ago this article was created, but single family houses in the area start at $550,000. So the medium household income has to be far above $35,000 to support those figures.
It began in 2006 with one paragraph by an unnamed contributor! https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Leimert_Park,_Los_Angeles&oldid=6584201 BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 16:20, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
I was born and raised in Leimert Park. John Singleton is by no means it's most famous resident (Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, The Mills Brothers, Billy Preston, Mayor Tom Bradley, and too many more to even mention, including Stu Gilliam and Butch "Earthquake" Johnson, would probably balk at the mere suggestion). In fact, after "Boys In The Hood" (Singleton's movie that put him on the map), Leimert became a hotbed of national/international curiosity. I feel, along with many other residents that that movie "ruined" a certain wonderfulness that existed prior to his choosing our community as an area he used in his film(s). I do not know when he started or even if he actually resides in Leimert. By the way, I have nothing against Mr. Singleton. However, I take umbrage to folks claiming the neighborhood. Representing since 1968...

I'm not in accord with the removal of important facts about Leimert Park from the lede, but I am willing to talk it over. LP is justly known as the center of black culture in Los Angeles. Shouldn't that be reflected in the lede through the use of simple statistics, or is there some other way of doing it, or shouldn't it be done at all?

It is nice to flesh out any article with well-researched facts, but where there is already a citation, or reference, we must be sure we are not adding anything beyond what is in that ref. If we have new stuff, we should be sure that is referenced, too. BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 18:59, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

I have added some additional sources for the boundaries of Leimert Park. Additionally, I removed an odd "note" placed on the google maps citation. Google maps has been cited without note, and for many years, on Wikipedia: 86th Street (Manhattan), Five Points, Manhattan, Forest Hills, Queens, New York State Route 268, Trans-Canada Highway, Mutundwe, Dixon, Illinois, Miami Beach Architectural District, Curiosity Creek, Tampa, Georgia, New Jersey, South Carolina Highway 28, Antelope Wells, New Mexico, New Kent County, Virginia...
If there needs to be a further discussion of this, it should not be done multiple times on individual Los Angeles pages. This is a larger issue than just Los Angeles. Per the banner on the Google maps Talk page, discussion relevant toWikipedia policy should be taken to the Village Pump. Phatblackmama ( talk) 21:41, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
The above subject should be added to the art and culture section of Leimert Park (2000-2011). Owners Richard and Ronald Harris, America's Next Top Model. 2600:1700:6FD4:8000:3C9E:4DF5:163E:8FAA ( talk) 02:50, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
