California coverage
All 58 counties are covered, from Los Angeles and San Diego through the Central Valley and the far north. Metro coverage includes Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Oakland, Long Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana, San Jose, and Bakersfield. As the most populous state, California produces the largest volume of published notices of any single-state file, which is why deduplication across overlapping metro publications matters here more than anywhere else.
