Chatsworth is a 5-tract suburb of Los Angeles, CA, population 20,450. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.6/10, placing it in the High tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%. At $2,305 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands.
That places it #130 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. For a like-for-like read, Remington Place and Beachwood Canyon score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 5 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $119,552.
43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
