The census inputs behind this figure are apportioned from tracts by area, so a tract split by a neighborhood boundary counts in proportion to its area. Parks, parcels and restaurants are mapped at their own coordinates instead.

Renters paying 30% or more of income on rent
Share of renter households whose rent takes 30% or more of income.
45.8%
59.2%
105th of 108
The census computed this share inside each household, where the rent and the income belong to the same family, and this page pools the resulting counts. Households whose share couldn't be computed are left out of the denominator.
Renters paying half their income or more
Share of renter households whose rent takes 50% or more of income.
22.7%

The census calls this severe rent burden, and these households are already counted in the line above.
Median gross rent
Rent plus utilities, monthly, for renters paying cash rent.
$2,873
$1,932
9th of 108
Gross rent includes utilities the tenant pays, so it runs above the rent on a lease. It leaves out renters who pay no cash rent, 2.2% of the city's renters.
Median renter household income
Renter households only, unlike the median household income under Residents.
$124,386
$63,686
5th of 108
This counts renter households only, so it can't be compared with the median household income under Residents, which includes owners and is built a different way.
Rent as a share of renter income
A year of the median rent over the median renter household's income.
27.7%
36.4%
106th of 108
This divides the median gross rent by the median renter household income, both interpolated from pooled census bins, so it only approximates the burden figure above. Using the income of all households instead would lower the citywide figure by eight points.
U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, tables B25063 gross rent, B25118 household income by tenure and B25070 rent as a share of income, apportioned to neighborhood lines by area. Rents and incomes are interpolated from the pooled census bins, because tract medians can't be averaged together.

Rent-stabilized housing isn't on this page. The Housing Department publishes it only by ZIP code and by council district, and ZIP codes don't line up with neighborhoods, so a neighborhood figure would have to be estimated. Most of this neighborhood sits in Council District 11, which carries it.

Crime is recorded where it happens, so a neighborhood holding downtown, a stadium, an airport or a transit hub carries offenses against people who don't live there, while the rate divides by residents only. The effect is larger for neighborhoods than for council districts, where such sites sit among roughly a quarter of a million residents.

Two in five police reporting districts cross a neighborhood line, compared with fewer than one in five for council districts, so these counts are split by area share rather than tallied from reports.

The tax is billed to the owner of record. The roll doesn't name owners, and they may not live in the neighborhood, so these totals don't measure what residents paid.
Net taxable value per parcel
4,284 parcels here. This is assessed value, which Proposition 13 holds near the last sale price, so it usually sits below market value.

Method
Every figure on this page comes from a public record. Where a figure is a rate, the citywide number beside it divides the city's total by the city's population rather than averaging the 114 neighborhood rates, which would give a different answer. A rank of 1 is the highest value among the 114 neighborhoods.
The boundaries are the Mapping L.A. neighborhood set, 114 areas covering 99.9% of the city's residents. They're separate from council districts and neighborhood councils, and they have no government of their own. Every figure is built from the same 2,495 census tracts as the council-district pages, so the two sets of pages reconcile with each other.
Rates are withheld for the five areas with fewer than 4,000 residents, which are a dam, a reservoir, two parks and a flood basin. Counts are shown for all 114.
Reported crime is split across these boundaries by area. Two in five police reporting districts cross a neighborhood line, compared with fewer than one in five for council districts, so the crime figures here are estimates rather than counts of reports. The population behind the crime rates is one census estimate used for every year, so the rates compare neighborhoods with each other but not one year with another.
