El Segundo's population grew steadily from the town's inception and has leveled off at just over 17,000, due to limited available space to build housing. However, that number will increase slightly with construction of several large multi-unit condo and townhome complexes.

While many generations of families have remained in El Segundo, the City has seen growth of new residents in recent years; many of them younger, educated professionals.

They choose El Segundo not just because they work here, but also because of the community's excellent schools, low crime, quiet neighborhoods, city services and small town charm.

El Segundo's daytime population peaks at approximately 70,000 people on a daily basis, thanks to the large number of employees who work here.
