Los Feliz spans 8 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 21,217. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.7/10, 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. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
25% 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. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
At $2,361 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.4 to 9.8, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
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. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #123 by risk, the lower third. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $136,913.
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.
