Source: California State Auditor's analysis of hate crimes data obtained from the California Department of Justice (DOJ), and data obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Note: Due to limitations in the location data DOJ collects, we were unable to determine the precise locations where crimes occurred. Consequently, we plotted crimes based on the address of the law enforcement agency that reported the crime to DOJ.
