Finding Jupiter's L1

What is the distance to the sun of the Jupiter-Sun system's L1 point in km or AU?
More questions: Is it out of the Asteroid Belt? Would it be a good staging point for low delta-v trips to Jupiter, its trojans, or Mars?
I've googled, and get nice explanations of what a Lagrange point is, how the asteroid belt formed, what the trojans are, but no numbers, alas.

The asteroid belt is in the region between 2 and 3.3AU.
