Quick answer

In Inglewood, 16.3% of commutes are under 15 minutes and 66.7% of workers drive alone (Census). For qualifying Inglewood drivers, liability-only coverage starts at $31 a month — an advertised starting point, not a quote: your own rate depends on your record, mileage, vehicle and coverage choices, and different carriers price the same driver very differently, which is why we compare.

From our own book

In our own book, Auto World has written 484 drivers across Los Angeles County, including Los Angeles (229), Long Beach (58) and Lancaster (53).

That count is every policy we have written across the county, including ones that later lapsed or cancelled — it is not a count of the drivers we insure today.

Inglewood itself is below the level at which we publish a city-only figure, so this is the county.
