Sober living houses ( SLH s) are alcohol and drug‐free living environments for individuals in recovery. The goal of this study was to map the distribution of SLH s in Los Angeles ( LA ) County, California ( N = 260) and examine neighborhood correlates of SLH density. Locations of SLH s were geocoded and linked to tract‐level Census data as well as to publicly available information on alcohol outlets and recovery resources. Neighborhoods with SLH s differed from neighborhoods without them on measures of socioeconomic disadvantage and accessibility of recovery resources. In multivariate, spatially lagged hurdle models stratified by monthly fees charged (less than $1400/month vs. $1400/month or greater), minority composition, and accessibility of treatment were associated with the presence of affordable SLH s. Accessibility of treatment was also associated with the number of affordable SLH s in those neighborhoods. Higher median housing value and accessibility of treatment were associated with whether a neighborhood had high‐cost SLH s, and lower population density was associated with the number of high‐cost SLH s in those neighborhoods. Neighborhood factors are associated with the availability of SLH s, and research is needed to better understand how these factors affect resident outcomes, as well as how SLH s may affect neighborhoods over time
