Downtown Culver City spans 7 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 23,362. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.7 to 9.9, a 4.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
At $2,486 a month, rents sit 29% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #158 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Sunkist Park and Braewood. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $117,142.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
