Owning vs renting — Inglewood

Property tax · $426/mo 0.68% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Los Angeles County, CA
Insurance & upkeep · $804/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Inglewood is a city in Los Angeles County, and it is mostly a place of renters: far fewer homes are lived in by their owners than is typical across the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values and rents are high. Winters are mild and summers warm, with little rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, professional and business services, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Inglewood are Inglewood Unified, Centinela Hospital Medical Center and the LA Clippers. Commutes are fairly long, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. SoFi Stadium sits in or beside town, and Dignity Health Sports Park, BMO Stadium and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum are stadiums a short drive away. The La Brea Tar Pits and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are museums a short drive away as well. Disneyland is an amusement park a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- EarthquakesRelatively high
- Inland floodingRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Inglewood’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metro.
