Not sure this one is even close to being true. Maybe LA county has more than a number of single, and perhaps a few multiple, states, but I really don't believe it has more than all of those states combined.
Maybe badly worded, but that is not what is being said here. It is in reference to individual states not the collective.
I believe you are correct, not combined/collective:
