Mount Washington is a 8-tract neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA and houses 25,900 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.3/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 24% 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. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 8.4 to 9.9, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Among the 161 mapped neighborhoods of Los Angeles, it ranks #81 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Brentwood Glen and Vanowen Place score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,886, close to the Los Angeles average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $96,677. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
