With COVID-era protections gone, the number of renters facing eviction in Los Angeles continues to climb by the thousands each month.
From February through the end of August, approximately 50,000 eviction notices were filed by landlords in the city, according to figures released on Monday by the L.A. Controller’s Office.
A spokesperson said 96% of them involve non-payment of rent, and landlords were owed $186.5 million collectively.
While evictions are occurring throughout the city, this map shows specific neighborhoods and zip codes are disproportionally affected.
For example, 3,585 eviction notices have been filed in Hollywood and 2,458 in the Fairfax neighborhood. Other “hot spots” include Woodland Hills, Westlake and downtown L.A.
