Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Los Angeles city. Up 62% since 2014. East Hollywood is 12% 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 income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

Nightlife
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.
Thai Town, Little Armenia, and the Red Line. Density without the Hollywood Boulevard circus. Vermont and Hollywood is a real intersection of the city — buses, groceries, late food. Apartments, not bungalows.
It is central in a way the westside never is. Weight cost and transit. Nightlife is restaurants that close late, not clubs. Los Feliz is north and calmer; Koreatown is south and even denser.
