· range 8.4–9.5
Hollywood Hills West spans 8 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 28,735 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.7/10, in the High tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. 33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.
Average gross rent is $2,333, 21% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933. Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 8.4 to 9.5. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.7/10.
4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #123 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
The closest comparables inside the same city are West Hills and Alla. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $133,637.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
