Property assessed in Council District 5 carries $133,075,903,053 of taxable value, 15.9 percent of the city's tax base and 1st of the fifteen districts. The comparable figure in CD 9 is $19,556,858,019. Assessed value in California is acquisition value, so a district's base reflects how recently property changed hands as much as what it is worth today. The typical council candidate running in Council District 5 raised 28.4% of their itemized money from donors inside the district. The middle district raises 12.3%, and the range across the city runs from 2.1% to 40.8%.

A rent-stabilized home is not an affordable home. The rules cap increases and restrict eviction because the building is old, with no income test and no cap on what it rents for once it is vacant.

A commitment running out is not an eviction and not a loss. Contracts are routinely renewed. The shorter renewal terms inside these contracts end sooner and counting those instead would inflate the figure by about half.

The population denominator is one American Community Survey estimate applied to every year, so these rates compare places and never time. The denominator counts residents and the numerator does not. Crime is recorded where it happens, so districts holding downtown, a stadium or a transit hub carry offenses committed against people who do not live there. 2023 is the last year before the department's move to federal incident reporting, which ran from January 2024 to June 2025. Later years are not comparable with earlier ones.

Assessed taxable value
Net taxable value of all property assessed in the district on the 2025 roll. This is what the assessment roll says the property is worth for tax purposes, not what it would sell for.
$133,075,903,053
$834,932,956,252
1st of 15
The tax is levied on the owner of record. The roll does not identify owners, and they do not necessarily live in the district: many are trusts, companies and out-of-state owners. Los Angeles is about two thirds renter-occupied and economists disagree about how much property tax reaches tenants, so these totals do not measure what a district's residents paid.
Assessed value per housing unit
Assessed taxable value divided by housing units in the district. Housing units rather than residents: council districts are drawn to equal population, so a per-resident figure would be little more than the total rescaled.

How this page is built
Every figure here is computed from a public record and can be recomputed from the same file. Where a district's figure is a rate, the citywide figure beside it is the whole city's numerator over the whole city's denominator rather than an average of fifteen rates, because those two are not the same number. Rank: 1 = highest value among the 15 districts.
Three different population figures sit behind these sections and they are not interchangeable. Parks, transit, commute and housing use the same census estimate apportioned to district lines, 3,852,504 across the city. Reported crime carries its own apportionment from police reporting districts. Turnout is a share of registered voters, which is a different universe again. No figure on this page divides one of those by another.
The park count corrects the published panel. Four parks that sit outside the city clip a district boundary by less than a hundredth of an acre between them, three in CD 11 and one in CD 5, and counting them gave those districts one to three parks they do not have.
The data behind this page is published at Basin Data. Corrections go to data@basin.la and we will recompute from the source either way.
