Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Los Angeles city. Up 62% since 2014. Los Feliz is 11% above 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.

On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Griffith Park at the north edge, Hillhurst cafes, and a village that still walks after dark. Eastside comparison guides call it the quieter, larger-lot alternative to Silver Lake — sit-down restaurants, the Greek Theatre, a village that behaves. Reddit locals still name it as the college-dream neighborhood they actually reached.
The park is why you stay. Hills and the 5 freeway are why you still own a car. Weight family and walk (the village, not the canyon). Silver Lake is hillier and more design-forward. Echo Park is louder and closer to downtown.
