· range 8.4–9.9
Tujunga spans 6 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA, population 21,620. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.5/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Los Angeles baseline of 35.0%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 8.4 to 9.9. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
That places it #67 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles. For a like-for-like read, Village Green and Hollywood Dell score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,912, close to the Los Angeles average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $78,872.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
