The area is inhabited by a wide variety of ethnic and socioeconomic groups as well as a broad population of creative individuals. Throughout the past decade the neighborhood has been experiencing gentrification, as young urban professionals have moved from nearby neighborhoods such as Los Feliz and Silver Lake.

As a result, commercial areas are seeing a high degree of revitalization and investment from opportunistic developers in spite of the challenging state of the economy.
Additionally, Eagle Rock is also the site of Occidental College (over 2,000 faculty and students) which supplies a good portion of the daytime consumer base from which businesses such as The York rely on.
