Average gross rent is $2,867, 48% above the Los Angeles average of $1,933. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $94,120 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
