L.A .came out on top with 2,272 murals. No wonder it's #1 in the U.S. The other top cities were Chicago, New York, Miami, and San Francisco.

The street art scene of the city also dominates social media platforms. People can't stop posting L.A. street art on Instagram - over 200k posts and counting.

Worldwide, L.A. grabbed the #5 spot, edging out New York. It's pretty cool to see L.A. up there with places like Paris and London.

L.A.'s always been known for creativity, and this study just proves it. From DTLA to Venice, every neighborhood is like a blank canvas for artists.

You'll find everything from tiny hidden masterpieces to huge building-sized murals in L.A. These pieces often show L.A.'s mix of cultures, social problems, and pop culture obsessions.

This study shows L.A.'s street art scene is only getting bigger and better. It's cool to see how street art can totally change a city and bring people together.
