Is Eagle Rock a poor, middle class or wealthy neighborhood? (Los Angeles: low income, apartments)

[AChillDude]

What do you guys think?

I'd consider Eagle Rock solidly middle class with some pockets of upper middle class. I think it is also an up and coming area, in that it is still affordable. There are some great places to eat and drink in the area.

It is a mixed income neighborhood. Most people fall in the lower middle class to upper middle class spectrum. Some are very low income and some in very high income also mixed in.
Eagle Rock is an older neighborhood with old housing stock (a lot of rent controlled apartments ). A lot of people who have lower middle class incomes bought ER homes for cheap back in the days up to early 2000s before it skyrocketed to the prices today. Even though many still live in the same houses worth a lot, doesnt necessarily mean that are paying the mortgage prices as those who bought in the past 15 years. Same for those in rent controlled apartments, not paying same price as those in who recently moved in. So that is why there is usually a mix of incomes in many of the gentrifying areas of Los Angeles.
But any new persons moving in to buy are upper middle class since homes sold on average are over $900K and rents on par with the average for LA County.
