The 91367 label is both a Zillow ZIP market identifier and a Census ZCTA match, but the two source universes should not be collapsed. Zillow’s current ZIP ZORI is $2,965 per month, down 0.93% year over year. ZORI is a typical observed asking-rent index blended across rental types, rather than a lease-level quote or a utility-inclusive household-cost measure. For wider context only, the Los Angeles city scope has a $2,773 rent index, the Los Angeles County scope has a $2,808 rent index, and the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro scope has a $2,927 rent index. The ZIP is therefore above each broader asking-rent benchmark while its latest direction is negative.
That latest decline breaks from the longer rent path rather than confirming it. The one-year exact same-month ZORI change is negative 0.93%, while the three-year exact same-month annualized change is positive 1.50% and the five-year measure is positive 3.47%. In other words, the recent cooling reading follows an earlier period of cumulative growth, not a five-year pattern of persistent decline. Annualized monthly-return variability is 2.50%, which supports more confidence in the index as a relatively stable broad snapshot than a highly erratic series would, but it does not make it a precise quote for a particular unit. The maximum drawdown of 2.99% shows a limited historical peak-to-trough retreat. History coverage is 100% across 136 observations. Transparent national discovery ranks, where lower is higher, place momentum at 2,356, stability at 689, and the balanced measure at 1,829; these are backward-looking discovery positions, not forecasts or investment signals.
The matched Census ZCTA provides a different, household-based lens. A ZCTA is a statistical area and is not identical to a USPS delivery ZIP. In the ACS five-year survey ending in 2024, median gross rent was $2,743, with a $82 margin of error at the published confidence level. ACS gross rent describes occupied renter homes and includes selected utilities, whereas Zillow ZORI tracks typical asking rents. The current asking-rent index is therefore 8.1% above the ACS median, a difference that is meaningful for interpretation but not proof that newly marketed units carry the same all-in cost as occupied homes. Timing, renter occupancy, selected utilities, and the survey’s statistical uncertainty all separate the two measures.
The bedroom ladder is best read as a modelled translation of the ZIP index, not as measured bedroom rents. Scaling ZORI by the local HUD ladder produces monthly modelled estimates of $2,299 for a studio, $2,451 for one bedroom, $2,965 for two bedrooms, $3,900 for three bedrooms, and $4,513 for four bedrooms. HUD’s corresponding administrative standard runs from $2,380 for a studio to $4,672 for four bedrooms. HUD FMR or SAFMR is bedroom-specific but is not asking rent; it is an administrative standard. The model uses that local ladder to distribute the ZIP-level ZORI across bedroom sizes, so it cannot establish what a particular advertised studio, two-bedroom, or house is actually asking.
The income screen creates the central affordability tension. Median household income in the ZCTA is $108,653, while paying the $2,965 monthly ZORI at the 30% screen boundary requires $118,600 in annual household income. That arithmetic places the index at 32.7% of the area median household income, above the screen boundary. This 30% calculation is not advice, an applicant qualification rule, or a finding about any household’s actual housing costs. ACS nevertheless records 5,567 of 10,661 renter households, or 52.2%, as spending 30% or more of income on rent. For context only, the Los Angeles city scope reports a 59.3% burden share and the Los Angeles County scope reports 57.7%. Those wider comparisons make the ZIP’s burden share lower, while still showing that burden affects a substantial share of its surveyed renter population.
Housing composition supplies useful context without identifying available apartments. The ZCTA contains 20,946 housing units and a 6.8% vacancy rate; 588 vacant units are categorized as for rent and 90 as for sale. Renters occupy 54.6% of occupied homes, making renter households slightly more numerous than owner households in this survey view. The stock is split between 9,564 single-family units and 9,766 large-multifamily units, so the aggregate index and the ACS median both span materially different structures. Vacancy is a ZCTA-wide count and rate, not evidence that a specific renter can obtain a particular unit, at a particular price, or with a particular lease structure.
Redfin presents a separate, direct rolling-three-month ZIP resale observation rather than rental transactions. Its median sold price is $1,203,728, down 2.93% from a year earlier, with 133 homes sold and 47 median days on market. Inventory stands at 164 homes and months of supply is 3.8. Sale-to-list performance averaged 98.66%, while 29.49% of sales closed above list price. These resale liquidity and pricing signals align with the current rent index’s negative one-year direction in the narrow sense that both show softer recent price readings, but they do not prove a common cause or a unit-level relationship. Annualized ZIP ZORI divided by the Redfin median sold price equals a 2.96% cross-source screening ratio only. It is not a property-specific measure of expenses, financing, lease performance, or return.
The evidence supports a cooling current asking-rent reading set against positive multi-year rent history, an affordability screen above the stated boundary, and resale pricing that has also weakened recently. Its limits remain consequential: ZORI blends rental types, ACS surveys occupied renter households, HUD supplies administrative bedroom standards, and Redfin observes for-sale resales. A property-level interpretation would require verification of the actual advertised rent, bedroom count, lease term, included utilities, unit type, availability, and whether any comparable sale represents a genuinely similar property. Those checks determine whether the ZIP-level signals apply to the unit under review rather than merely describing the separate datasets that surround it.
