Toluca Lake takes in 22 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 62,488. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.8/10, in the High tier. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 22 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.9 to 9.9, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.7/10.
At $2,238 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Los Angeles commands. That places it #114 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The closest comparables inside the same city are Deerlake Ranch and Eagle Rock.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $94,095.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
