What it’s like
The place. La Puente is a city in Los Angeles County, in the San Gabriel Valley. Household incomes here run a little below the county's, and homes are lived in by their owners more often than not, though renting is common too. Winters are mild and summers are warm, with little or no snow and modest rainfall through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in La Puente are Northgate, Walmart and Reliant HR, a warehousing and storage business. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is typical, and most people get to work by leaving home, with the commute a fairly long one.
Things to do. Several well-known places are a longer drive away. The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden and a good choice for a quiet day out, and the Norton Simon Museum is an art museum. Disneyland, an amusement park, is also a longer drive away.

Natural hazards

- Inland floodingrelatively high in parts of La PuenteRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in La Puente’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metro.
