Tarzana is a 11-tract suburb of Los Angeles, CA, population 36,831. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.2/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 8.4 to 9.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Average gross rent is $2,111, 9% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933. That places it #89 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
For a like-for-like read, Reseda Ranch and Highland Park score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $105,815. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 9.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
