The state of California has some of the most diverse cities in the nation, according to a new study conducted by Finder.

In fact, one Southern California city made it into the study's top 5 for most diverse cities. To determine which cities had the most diversity, Finder analyzed census data for 17 factors and grouped them into the following three categories: 1) Cultural diversity, 2) Socioeconomic diversity, and 3) Household diversity.

According to their results, the most diverse city in Socal, and the fourth most diverse in the entire country, is Inglewood! Here's what Finder had to say about the legendary city:

"Back on the West Coast and in fourth place is Inglewood, California. Inglewood scores a 61.63 for overall diversity. Unlike all other cities in the top five that owe their positions to also ranking in the top 10 for cultural diversity, Inglewood secures its place with an 11.9 score for household diversity, putting it at fifth place for the category. In contrast, Inglewood gets 24th place for cultural diversity with a score of 31. But it does a bit better when it comes to socioeconomic diversity, with a score of 18.7 that puts it in 16th place."

Several other California cities made it to the top of the list. In fact, the top 10 is dominated by California cities:

  1. Richmond, CA
  2. Bridgeport, CT
  3. Dale City, VA
  4. Inglewood, CA
  5. San Leandro, CA
  6. Stockton, CA
  7. Antioch, CA
  8. Hayward, CA
  9. Sacramento, CA
  10. Los Angeles, CA
