Overview of Findings
Apartment List has released Hollywood’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.
"Hollywood renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "However, ratings varied greatly across different categories, indicating that even though renters love Hollywood, some aspects can be better."
Key Findings in Hollywood include the following:
- Hollywood renters gave their city a B+ overall.
- The highest-rated categories for Hollywood were quality of local schools (A+), state and local taxes (A) and weather (A).
- The areas of concern to Hollywood renters are public transit and social life, which both received C grades.
- Hollywood millennials are very satisfied with their city, giving it an overall rating of A+, while renters who are parents are equally satisfied, also giving it an A+.
- Hollywood earned similar scores compared to other cities in Florida like Clearwater (B+) and Tampa (B), and earned higher marks than Miami (C+), Orlando (C) and Tallahassee (F).
- Hollywood did relatively well compared to cities nationwide, including Los Angeles (C+), Tucson (D) and Memphis (C).
- The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.
