Ventura: More open space, less dense.
Los Angeles: More fun, more culture.

I don't know if this is true or not because I did not compare but was told tax prices are different.
For the most part LA to me is very congested and fast pace where Ventura County is less so.

88 cities vs. 10 cities in Ventura.
Sales tax is higher in LA (between 1/2 and 1%).
LA has more mass transit options, including subway and "metro liner" busways.
LA is home to an international airport + 2 satellite airports vs. 2 tiny "airports" in Ventura.
Demographics are entirely different; LA is more diverse with 50% caucasian vs. Ventura's 68% caucasian.
LA is generally urban; Ventura is mostly suburban.

In many ways, Ventura County more closely resembles other states than it does LA County.

Ventura County was never a major rail terminus and has no where near the amount of buildable flat land. That is a major difference and explains a lot about why LA grew so much and Ventura Co never took off. It's all good.

Ventura County is very suburban/ semi-rural...once you leave Thousand Oaks, it already seems to be more relaxed & less intense...there are hardly any Asians or Blacks in Ventura County so certainly less racially diverse, straight away when you get into LA County from Thousand Oaks you can tell the difference straight away with the types of ppl driving on the freeways
