About Southern California POI Authority

We are the region's specialized business location data organization—built for SoCal, by people who know SoCal.

Who We Are

The Southern California POI Authority was established to fill a critical gap in location data: the massive, complex, and culturally diverse business landscape of Southern California was being underserved by one-size-fits-all national data providers.

Based in Los Angeles, our team focuses exclusively on the five-county SoCal region—LA, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego—delivering depth and accuracy that national databases cannot replicate.

Coverage Area

  • Los Angeles County
  • Orange County
  • Riverside County
  • San Bernardino County
