93% of households rent. Median home value is $1,056,591.

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.

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.
