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.

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