Using the 709K estimate, 20% of GLA Jews live on the Westside — significantly less than the common perception. For comparison's sake, Brooklyn is home to 22-23% of GNYC's Jewish population, and Brooklyn accounts for 11.6% of GNYC's total population — roughly double the Westside's apportionment of GLA.
I'm curious to know why they were willing to study the high desert but not all of Ventura County, considering their 2020 report estimated about 41,000 Jews living there. Ventura city has one chabad and two synagogues, a relatively dense concentration relative to geographic area; Ojai has one chabad and one synagogue. We can infer that there's a sizable Jewish presence probably in the thousands.
