Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Los Angeles city. Up 62% since 2014. Eagle Rock is 8% below the 2024 city median.
Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.
HUD treats 30% of gross household income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS median rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed — that table is all occupied rental units. Method.

Crime is LAPD Part I reports per 1,000 ACS residents — not a judgment of who lives here. Home and rent figures are ACS medians, not live MLS. Read the method.
On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Colorado Boulevard, Occidental nearby, and houses that still have yards. Northeast family without the westside premium. The boulevard is errands and a few restaurants; the side streets are hills and bungalows. Caltech-adjacent Pasadena is the next city over, which shapes the feel.
You will drive to most of Los Angeles and walk to a coffee. Weight family and cost. Highland Park is the trendier, denser sibling on the Gold Line. Downtown is a freeway.
